I have not seen this subject covered anywhere. Many of us take our trucks off-road. A very useful addition would be to have access to Topo maps on our nav screen. I have Nav on my Ranger and it would be nice to have those topos available. Does anyone know any developer that offers this?

Maybe you can access BLM or Forestry maps?

I have those on my iPhone but am not smart enough to have them show on the 8" screen of the Ford Nav system screen. I downloaded them years ago but can't remember where I got them.

BTW, most all GPS topo maps (thinking Garmin here) are actually Forest Service Topos and probably obtained by the FS under contract. They are pretty easy to obtain in hard copy, the best resolution being 1:24,000. Having them show on my truck's screen would be most excellent and very useful when off-roading.

Now I am not sure how to do it, but can you load them in to the truck Nav using Carplay?
