No
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
These maps only give you an overall view of the terrain (like a 15 minute topo quadrangle).
They do not show the detail like a 7.5 minute quadrangle.
An earlier version of Topo has 7.5 minute quads that are joined together, and I love it.
I can print out a detailed map for any trip.
I will be using these maps less because they do not show the detail that I want when I go hiking.
