I have purchased the OZtopo Maps on CD and have it running in the Garmin Mapsource where it is designed to be used, ,Uploaded it to the Nuvi 660 and it works good, the Contours look very effective in Mapsource on the screen when switched on , All the tracks are displayed in the S.D and ON C.S.R, &
Cape York, if anyone wants another location I can replace the 2 maps displayed,I have done screen shots to show the difference between the two softwares at 20km.
Though it shows City streets it is no match for Mapsource ,It really shines in the Outback.see the comparison at the link.

Morning Bob
I don't think the contours are meant to show on the PC , when I said "switched on" I meant on the GPS, you first have to upload the files to the SD card while it is in the GPS , mine is a Nuvi , to turn maps on or off touch in order,
spanner/map/map info/ and tick or untick the boxes for your settings , and the contours are on the GPS screen ,Please feel free to ask if you need help Bob , that's what this
Forum is all about , not a place where some seem to think it's a good site to do some back stabbing . If you need some more info email me from the owners profile near the photo here

Damn it I went and answered your post on the email, didn't look to see if it was from EO , OK i see the map 60 has a small sd card, what size is it ie MB/GB
I have a 2GB , now when your gps is connected to pc you use the uploader [ get it from Garmin website ] and when you opem Mapsource you have you open the Tracks4Australia ,Highlite the whole of Australia then do same for the contour set , so you will have 939 maps at 685mb to upload to the SD Card in the GPS, Wheen doing that it is best to hace the map of Australia set to about 700 to 1000 klm
