The maps provived provide excellent detail, having checked it out with my trip taken in 2000 and 2004.
Furthermore, the proof of the pudding comes this sept when i go to China.

I used the database on my Garmin 76S in Thailand, Vietnam & Laos and found that the data was quite accurate. It even has many of the old Lao 'Lima Site' airfields!
World Map review January 23, 2008

I used the Garmin Mapsource Worldmap in Cameroon, Africa. It was a blessing to have and compare with printed maps available. We always knew where we were, which made us feel good. The maps are off a little bit from where the GPS thought we were (less than 1/2 a mile at most) and some roads were different, but given the conditions in Cameroon everyone on the trip was extremely happy we had the Garmin 60Csx and the worldmap loaded and operating at all times.
Useable GPS maps of the world--great Google Earth tie-in September 14, 2009

We do a lot of foreign travel and periodically use a Garmin 60C GPS for understanding where we're going and where we've been. For example, in 2009 we headed to Nepal and Tibet to do some treking and white-water rafting, in 2008 it was central Africa, in 2006 we explored the ice fields and Fjords of Patagonia. None of these areas had easy to acquire maps, so I bought Garmin's WorldMap to at least provide rudimentary maps of the areas. This is about all the WorldMap does, as it is quite "high level" with only the major roads and towns available. However, it does provide downloadable maps for the GPS so that you have something to display in these non-US areas and something to use on your computer screen when planning the trip.
Probably my favorite use of the maps is its built-in tie to Google Earth. Once you locate your places of interest using World Map on your computer, you can click on the "View in Google Earth" and instantly view your waypoints and routes in Google Earth with infinite detail. Vise versa, I often use Google Earth to locate detailed GPS coordinates and copy them into my WorldMap software for download to the GPS; this provides a workaround for the low detail and poor accuracy of maps. When you get home you can also upload your world-wide tracks and waypoints that you acquired on your trip and view them in Google Earth to know exactly where you were and where to post pictures, if you do that. This interactivity with Google Earth saves the day for what otherwise is a pretty limited level of map detail.
In the US, I do a lot of off-road exploring, mostly in the southwest deserts. Here I use Garmin's Topo USA 2008 Garmin Mapsource Topo US 2008. It has infinite detail, on and off-road, and the same wonderful Google-Earth connectivity.

This software really help me enjoy my E-trex a whole lot more. Being able to make waypoints from my PC was very handy. A nice accessory.
