Are you making your own map? A good place to start would be the tutorials on this site: http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/tutorials/how-to-create-garmin-topo-maps---part-1---setup/

That looks a little questionable to me since there is no real information about the map, only a blurry underexposed photo of the computer screen. Evidently the seller's cap locks key is also stuck. Caveat Emptor.  ::)

But if that's the "ideal map" for you then go for it, you only stand to lose $25...

Sure looks like someone downloaded John_M's maps and have burnt a datacard and is selling them??? Might want to download the free version I linked to above and see if that will fill the bill.
