No. What I have is a hand held Garmin "E-MAP". They don't make it any more. The new models are etrex, and a few others. But, the Topo software is the same for all Garmins. If yours is downloadable, go into your local gps store and purchase the Topo program. They have several programs such as highways and parks, etc. I got my Topo program at West Marine. Cost is about $100.00. Install in on your PC, and they you can repeatedly download all Topographical information for any area you are in, or are going to.
