    Map Data Information One of the goals of Garmin is to provide customers with the most complete and accurate cartography that is available to us at a reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental and private data sources, which we identify as required in product literature and copyright messages displayed to the consumer.

    If the data source is lacking a feature, or an item is mislocated or misidentified, it will be incorrectly identified or missing in the Garmin cartography product as well. Each Garmin cartography product has its strengths and weaknesses, and not all are suitable for every purpose. Please keep this in mind as you use and enjoy the benefits the cartography provides.
