Having used the Tom-Tom maps to drive by, I certainly wouldn't trust their
accuracy walking in mountainous terrain.

But surely they are designed to be used for driving and not for walking...
or is that your point?
I know you can get special 'walkers' GPS systems that display (what looks

that the road maps contain some inaccurate information I would not trust
them for walking up mountains.
