Just got an etrex legend. A little disappointed to find out there aren't any 1:24000 quads I can download onto it. This 100000 mapsource stuff is useless. Why would they put together the 1:24 for national parks and not the rest of the state?
I am sure Garmin hears it all the time, but I sent them email pleading for them to put some pressure on mapsource to get the 1:24,000 state quads, so we are looking at something similar to the USGS quads that we all buy(optimal would be to accept the NG topos, but I think I read somewhere that Magellan has cornered the market on that deal).

Does anyone else know of any 1:24000 quads we can download on the Garmins?

There are other map sources on the net. Some people here have posted links, I do not have any.

I agree Garmin should provide 1:24 for the whole country. Good on ya for sending them a note.

My GPS is an automotive unit, so I don't have any topos at all. Talk about useless hiking in the back country!

I've asked Garmin the same thing. This won't help you since you already bought the Etrex, but Delorme's PN-20 has 1:24000 quad maps of the US.
