Any readers of this who use a GPS know the answer to this question:
Do topographical, not road, maps of Europe exist for use with a GPS?
I have searched the Garmin and TomTom sites and done Google searches
for the answer to this question and have come up empty handed. I can
find lots of topo maps of the U.S. & Canada, but not of Europe.
Specifically, I am looking at GPS topo maps of Italy to use on hikes
there.
