Ryan, you can get a one CD from Garmin for your area.
However the maps are PC generated.

The best one is from Topo which is now owned by National Geographic.
I have the 7 CD set.

They are also taken from real maps, and not PC generated, so they look better.

I have not messed around with the cheaper Garin one to see if it has the option to track you on a laptop while moving.
I'll look later for that.

Both of these can be had from REI.
The Garmin one is here for the topo version.
They also have city maps too for driving.

This page here lists more CDs.
However I don't see the National Geo one, but they do carry them.
I beleive my 7 CD set is just for the state of WA. too.
They are that well deatailed it takes several CDs to cover one state.

You can probably get the NG one above at the URL I posted for their site.
