40-Foot Contours:

Unlike Garmin's USA Topo product, which has 40-Meter contour intervals, Above the Timber's Utah Topos are at 40-foot intervals, the same as standard 7.5-minute USGS Quad maps. The 40-foot intervals are also in integer 40-foot increments, not meters converted to odd numbered feet.

Latest  Roads:

Major state and federal highways shown in distinct colors and with unique shields for quick identification. All city streets are included, while not routable, the road features greatly aid navigation.

Public Lands in Unique Colors:

Virtually all Utah public lands are included on these maps and most have a unique color and/or pattern for quick identification. Be aware, the color and/or pattern can/will differ significantly between Mapsource and your GPS receiver. Above the Timber has little or no control over this discrepancy. Above the Timber maps are optimized for your GPS, not Mapsource

15-minute Coverage per Map:

Each map segment covers an area of 15 x 15 minutes of arc or exactly 4 - 7.5 minute Quad Maps. These maps seamlessly join one to another, therefore you can have the entire coverage area as one seamless map inside your GPS receiver. Their are in total 368 - 15-min maps in the Utah map set. The total map set is 222 MB on your flash card.

Covers ALL of Utah:

Extensive Geologic Feature Points:

Their are over 30,000 points of interest showing summits, mines, cemeteries, arches, pillars, basins, springs, flats, ridges, cliffs, waterfalls, communication towers, passes and on and on.

National Park and Forest Service Trails:

The red dashed line for trails shows well against all backgrounds.

Hybrid Resolution Water Data:

Free Trial Download:

Here's a 4 MB file which will demonstrate all the features of the Utah map set. It is a cluster of 4 - 15-min map segments showing all highway types, wilderness, BLM, state land, national forest, city areas and much, much more. They're in a self-extracting executable file. The map files will appear in Mapsource as Utah Topo Demo and you can load them into any Garmin mapping GPS. If you're new to Mapsource, these screenshots will help immensely. You can also use this download to verify that Above the Timber's maps will work in your Garmin GPS receiver.

Download:  Utah Topo Demo  A link for Mapsource is included in the file, Mapsource version 6 must be installed before these maps will work. 

Cost:

For less than the cost of a dozen paper 7.5-minute USGS Quads, you can buy this map set with the same coverage as 1472 - 7.5-minute Quads. That's $0.04 per Quad equivalent.

Screenshots:

A detailed wide view to show trails and major features. Wilderness areas are shown in this buff color to both distinguish them from forest, but also that the color not overwhelm the fine detail. Trails, red dashed line, are now easy to see against the contours.
