Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Do not buy this product if you are looking for topo maps of Buescher State Park or Bastrop State Park. Even though Buescher State Park is one of the areas described within its coverage, the park is located close to Smithville, outside the western boundary of the detailed topo map (it's only on the overview maps, which aren't at a scale you can use for orienteering). The detailed topo map also cuts off about half of Bastrop State Park (which is further west of Buescher State Park, and ought to be included), so it's not very helpful for that area as well.
