Our Comment
The TOPO Ireland & UK map is recreational map has been compiled using the community
generated OpenStreetMap (OSM) database to which Garmin added a 50-metre contour line layer, based on a public digital elevation model (DEM).
The resulting map can be used for orienteering and reference for any outdoor or recreational activities throughout Ireand and UK.
These new maps include routable road, trail and path networks, waterway detail, place names, military areas, natural features, land use areas, historical sites and more.
TOPO UK & Ireland Light is capable of turn-by-turn routing on the entire road and trail network present in the map.
The advantage of this unit over the BirdsEye Select version is the Ireland & UK map coverage albeit not to the same level of detail and if
you do need detailed mapping then you can always purchase it later. A BirdsEye Select Eire voucher is approx €25.
