- Great Software Great Price
This is great software. Ive used it my car with laptop and GPS on a variety of road trips MN, TX, LA, UT, MO, AR and gotten myself into and out of many situations without a hitch, except for being towed out of a bayou in Louisiana twice but that was my bad not the softwares. This software will allow you to get to places that others wouldnt be able to find.
Ive also used this software to map the entire Salt Lake City Utah region from Ogden all the way to Payson for a telecom company that ... Read More

- Gone are the days of free gas station maps
When I was a lad, I used to walk into the office of any service station and grab a stack of free road maps. There were maps of the city I was in, nearby states, and even the USA. Gas was allot cheaper in those days too! Those were the days..... Now here's a product that almost fills the empty feeling left by the demise of free gas station maps and service with a smile. When I saw the price of this package I thought, "Well, can't be much more than overview state maps showing major highways." I was delightfully ... Read More

- Lots of Bugs!Topic Entertain publishes this CD
The company Topic does a lousy job at customer service.As for the developer, maybe some third rate company.The scans of the maps are not high enough for area blow ups.Everything is fuzzy at best.The interface is clumsy ... sluggish ... backwards!This is the 21st Cen!If you have a Garmin, stick with their apps for now.Or just buy an old fashion topo map.
*Avoid this product!!!!
Rating: - Works much better than the alternatives
I've used versions of topo mapping software from Topo!, Garmin, DeLorme and National Geographic.
I use maps for hiking and the quality in the 17-CD set is very good.Garmin MapSource has the same territory in 3-CDs and the detail in much more minimal.
Back Roads with version 4.2.3 of Topo! from Nat Geo's website is one of the better products out there.You can adjust the shading factor, get 3D view, and send co-ordinates to your GPS.
I did have to contact support to realize ... Read More
Rating: - Major Problems with this software.
Wish I could give this one less than one star.Don't waste your money with this one.If the software actually worked, it reports to do many of the things that I was looking for.
First problem -- the software claims to be compatable with Magellan's Explorists series.Tech Support (at least that's what they call themselves), says it is not.
Second problem -- the software is apparently not XP compatable.I can load the software and basically get it to work but it locks up when I attempt to ... Read More
