software for GPS
Original post
I have been a map, compass and altimeter person for a long time but have found there are situations where a GPS (particularily showing your location on a map on screen) is useful so I bought a garmin etrex20.
Initially I was using the .kmz files downloaded from topomap but have found that quite a few of these files do not give me a topomap image on the GPS (they mention this as an issue on site and no longer support/produce the .kmz files).
Looks like I might have to bite the bullet and buy some software - does anyone have experience with the various topomap softwares you can buy? Would really appreciate some incites from actual users.

I had a free version of the New Zealand Topo Maps on my smart phone. It gave my location free of charge and allowed me to map 3 routes. I've now upgraded to the paid version. It cost me around $12. I bought a Prime Galaxy Samsung as it has a big screen.
