[Az-Geocaching] Garmin Mapource US TOPO question

[Brian Casteel]

*cough*Google*cough*

 

Garmin's United States TOPO MapSource CD-ROM is similar to U.S. Geological
Survey 1:100,000-scale topographic paper maps. It includes trip and waypoint
management functions that allow you to transfer waypoints, routes, and
tracks between your PC and nearly all Garmin GPS units (excluding the GPS
100 family and panel-mount aviation units). With MapSource, you can view
highways, roads, hiking trails, snowmobile trails, backwoods trails,
elevation contours, point and summit elevations, some bathymetric contours,
geographic names, churches, and schools. Shoreline detail is included for
lakes, reservoirs, small bodies of water, waterways, rivers, and streams.
Icons represent boat ramps, dams, marinas, campgrounds, public facilities,
mile markers, first aid stations, picnic sites, swimming areas, ski areas,
wrecks, fuel locations, and dangerous and restricted areas.

 Does anyone have this product?

 If so, could you let me know what the contour intervals are?  I was looking
online to possibly buy this for my new GPS and I see they are 1:100,000
maps, but I cannot find anything mentioning what the contour intervals are. 

 The online map viewer seems to be set at something like 163 foot elevations
and I wondered if the maps were the same.

 Thanks in advance. 

(yes, I tried to call, but they are closed for the day :))
