Getting ready to buy an etrex and I need the mapsource plugin showing
the most detail of the railroad.

topo or city navigator ..

or ..

maybe .. just the base map has highly detailed railroad info.


thanks a lot

In my experience the Topo maps show more detail (sidings and such); but CN
is more likely to be up to date, and Topo typically just identifies tracks
as "Railroad" whereas CN will give the names of lines. So what information
you want may drive which map product you want to get.
