Although I have ridden for over 40 years, and owned an S 2 long ago, it wasn't until my purchase a few months ago of my 2009 Uly that I began to notice how many lovely gravel roads are all over SE Ohio and West Virginia. I have never used a Garmin or any other nav. unit.

Do those maps cover all public roads, including gravel and dirt township roads? I would like to be able to determine, without asking or looking for my local maps in my tank bag, where this road or that road goes.

Any recommendations?

My garmin zumo has a good number of dirt roads, and shows them with dashed lines.
It covers pretty much anything that would be on google maps. Once or twice it's taken me down a few roads that didn't lead to anything or had stopped being maintained, but that just made the ride more interesting.

Garmin Topo mapset even includes hiking trails, railroad tracks, and powerlines.
