Lately I've been trying ArcGIS World and GoogleEarth Pro. Very powerful. It's a little hard to find the data but there is an amazing amount out there when you look. e.g. WA State, County and federal data bases. I have the state trails database, state and federal roads, lidar, tax parcels, shorelines... You name it, it's out there.
I have been using and loading maps off gpsfiledepot.com onto my Montana, and they are pretty good but those CalTopo maps look more complete.
Is it possible to load those onto a Garmin with Basecamp or MapSource?
I poked around the website but it looked like Google no longer supported the plug-ins needed to load maps to a Garmin device on Chrome.
Do I really need to install Explorer to make CalTopo work and load maps to a Garmin GPS?
It also looks like you must load the whole thing onto your GPS, is that true?
I am a bit of a Luddite so any insight is appreciated!

I think that the only maps that will work on your Montana are the maps from gpsfiledepot.com or similar or from Garmin if you want to pay. They are a proprietary format. You can load routes and tracks from many sources but not maps.
