    Hi folks!


    Bought a Garmin gps during the week and I am considering loading it with maps from Talkytoaster. https://talkytoaster.me.uk/



    Has anyone here used these maps for hiking in Ireland and are they any good? For what it's worth, I plan to use my gps in conjunction with a traditional map and compass, and I have completed Mountain Skills 1 and 2.


    Thanks folks.

    Have used it as my primary map on a garmin in big events in Britain. No problems whatsoever, and can't beat the value for money! Would have no hesitation to use it here (I rarely need to consult a non-paper map in Ireland)

    Cheers for the heads up.

    Thanks folks. Think I’ll go with them so. They are far cheaper than the maps from Garmin.

    I just downloaded the FREE version......seems fine.
    As pointed out above, I'd be primarily a "Map n Compass" man. Use my eTrex for Waypoints......in case :pac:
