GARMIN TOPO Switzerland PRO provides the following main features:

• Activity based map display features, e.g. for alpinists, bikers or hikers.
• Topographic winter map in vector view showing slopes with grades more than 30°, ski tours and Swiss Cabins.
• SchweizMobil hiking and biking routes with name and number, see www.schweizmobil.ch.

This product provides a very detailed topographic map of Switzerland, see examples below.

The µSD/SD memory card has the advantage that the maps are immediately available as soon as you plug in the memory card. In addition, you may use the maps on any number of devices, but only on one device at the time. The GPS has to have a SD or µSD slot. The data is stored on a µSD memory card, but an µSD-to-SD adapter is included. In order to use the maps on a computer, the free software GARMIN BaseCamp must be installed, see www.garmin.com/support/mappingsw.jsp and you must connect the GPS with the computer using an USB cable, see also MapSource versus BaseCamp. If your computer has a slot for an SD memory card, you may plug in the card into the computer directly, which provides faster access to the data. The memory card comes with Topo Switzerland Pro, which supports vector and pattern view, see images.

Note: This product does not include a cable for data exchange with a PC. If you need such a connection cable, see our selection of options.

If you insert the memory card in a GPS which supports maps, the following features will be added:

• Significant increase of the level of details: If there is as built-in map, the map of Switzerland will overlay this map. Outside Switzerland, the built-in map is still available. Most GPS devices support enabling and disabling maps, so you can easily switch between multiple maps. If your GPS device supports profiles, you can bind different maps to different profiles.
• Extended search functions: Find points of interest, such as restaurants, hotels, attractions, entertainment, shopping, services, transportation, plus emergency and government addresses, but also geographic features such as mountains, lakes, rivers etc.
• Autorouting on the GPS: The maps of this product support the autorouting feature of the GPS models which are capable of computing routes.

If you connect the GPS with a computer rsp. insert the memory card in a computer where BaseCamp is installed, you can use the following features:

• Basic features: Manage GPS data on a PC, exchange data between a PC and a GPS device.
• Autorouting on a PC: Computes routes on a computer and provides elevation profiles of such routes. These routes can be transferred to a GPS device.
• Map on computer: Topographic map of Switzerland, shows elevation contours and natural features plus official hiking and biking routes which are clearly marked and indicated by their number or name.

Important Note: GARMIN TOPO Switzerland PRO is only supported by the devices of the following series: Dakota, Edge, more recent etrex models (after Vista), GPSmap6x, GPSmap7x, GPSMAP 276Cx, Montana, Monterra and Oregon.
