I went from the 100 to the 200 several months ago. When I traded up and got the 200 I noticed that the hunt view plus map card that I got with the 200 was blurry to say the least, the more you zoom the worse it gets. My old card looks a lot better in the 200. My question is did Garmin fix this problem with the 300? Can You use the newest map card in the 300 and zoom in without the distortion? I'm thinking about getting the 300 just so I can use the newest hunt view plus card. Would it be worth it?
Thanks, Randy

May not be what you want to do but you can connect a 300 (not sure about 200) to your phone and have great maps. You can still do everything with the hand held. Basically I put the handheld in my vest and hunt with the map on my phone. If I need to tone or anything just pull out the handheld. Bought mine from Conkey's and they talked me through the process. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

When i bought a new 200 i got a new huntview card.Still blurry just like my 100 when i zoomed in with the sattelite map .And the wma's and public hunting lands on the topo map didnt have good color.The 300 with the same huntview card still gets blurry when i zoom in the satt map but the wma's and other public lands have alot better color.Im curious if birdseye you download would also get blurry when zoomed in close on the sattelite map.I dont worry about it much because i rarely use the satt map.I stay on the topo map most the time.I think the satt map getting blurry when zoomed in is just the way it is.Id still move up to the 300 if i were you.Its worth it for other improvements vs the 200

What is the best collar for the alpha 300?
