Details: The Ibycus Road and Topo map is based on 1:50,000 scale map data obtained from government sources. New version 4.0 his is a very large map - more than 4 Gigabytes in size. This latest version includes "Old Roads" previously left off the map. Note that roads, topography, and some points-of-interest are features of the Ibycus map, but the map is not autorouting. That is, you will be able to see you location relative to map features, but routing will not be constrained to roads and you will not get turn-by-turn directions. Your routing will be "as the crow flies" unless you have another routable map enabled. You may enter destinations by entering coordinates, selecting a point-of-interest, or by browsing the map, but you will not be able to enter an address unless you have another map enabled which is address-indexed. More details are available at ibycus.com.
