 Rating:  - Offline map sharing functionality, great source for geotiff raster mapsI have been using Topo! since it was a Wildflower product back in the early 1990's. The interface does take some getting used to as mentioned before, but like all powerful software programs (vi/emacs) eventually, it becomes second nature. I mostly use TOPO! to annotate my previous trips, plan future trips, share travel guides with family, and create georeferenced raster maps for handheld GPS devices. My trips primarily used to be hiking and backpacking trips, which I would ...

Its all very, very easy to learn and includes cool features to customize your maps like adding notes, showing your trails and routes, elevation profiles for hiking mountains and a 3D feature. This allows you to actually view your route as your travel in simulation at varying angles. The `Search' feature is very handy in locating just about anything you are looking for in that section/region of the map. You ... Read More Rating:  - National Geographic TOPO MapsThis product is very hard to use, especially if you are trying to download it to a Magellan Triton 500. Not user friendly or intuitive at all. Rating: - Buyer Beware!I bought this software based on the belief it would show trail maps for hiking. Trail maps are only available via a download (not a big deal), but trail maps for PA and NJ don't exist!!! If you want maps that show existing trail maps for hiking in PA, do not purchase this software. Rating: - 0 stars. Ripoff. Can't download maps to GPSAfter spending $250 on a GPS, $40 on a memory card, and $100 on this software (all at the advice of REI (yeah, I bought it from REI, not Amazon)), I saw that the fine print of the software says you can't download the maps to your GPS. What's the point of having maps sitting on your computer hard drive that you can't download to your GPS? My computer hard drive isn't going hiking. My computer hard drive isn't hunting for difficult-to-find street. My computer hard drive isn't doing a search ... Read More |
