“We are excited to offer our hunting consumers an easy solution
to ensure safe and legal hunts,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice
president of worldwide sales. “By simply inserting the Hunt View
Maps microSD card into the units, hunters can easily access the
data they need without dealing with extra downloads, discs or even
a computer.”
Hunt View Maps provide hunters with an easy solution to keep
essential land data on-hand to ensure hunts are kept within legal
boundaries. Each Hunt View Maps microSD card comes preloaded with
data for one entire state. Simply insert the microSD card into the
compatible Garmin handheld device1 to access the information. Hunt
View mapping provides borders and boundaries for a variety of land
types, including Army Corp., Bureau of Land Management (BLM),
Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Defense (DoD), forests,
grasslands, national wildlife refuges, national parks, state parks,
state trusts, tribal, Works Progress Administration (WPA) and
Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), as well as parcel boundaries2 and
rural roads.
In addition to land ownership and management data, each Hunt
View microSD card features routable data for turn-by-turn
navigation, even for rural roads and trails, so hunters can easily
navigate around unfamiliar areas. For even more detail, Hunt View
Maps also includes satellite imagery and TOPO US 24K data.
Accessing Hunt View Maps is as simple as inserting the microSD
card into the handheld unit. There’s no need to plug the unit into
the computer or download any additional information. All data is
easily accessible right out of the package. Hunt View Maps are
compatible with a variety of Garmin handheld devices, including the
Oregon® 600 series, GPSMAP® 62 and 64 series, Montana®, eTrex®,
Rino®, Alpha® and Astro®. For the complete list of compatible
