Delorme Topo USA 7.0 - West Edition, 2008-02-08
Initially the interface was somewhat challenging, but after a few uses it became routine. Lots of very cool features and with both 2D and 3D views in a split screen, it was very helpful. I'd heard good things from other hunters regarding using this for Game Management Units (GMUs) in Colorado and was happy to see the first time I started it up the tips noted there were downloads available - one of which where the Colorado GMUs specifically!
Only issues so far:
1. Printed maps on inkjet are a bit fuzzy, better on laser - but either way even with the level of contour lines set to "High Detail" the fine lines are REALLY fine when printed out. Will look to navigate via the heavier lines I suppose.
2. While they (Delorme) have their own hardware device (PN-20) for direct compatibility of the maps in an ultra-portable solution - I've found options for creating maps in either Palm or Pocket PC formats... only to load them onto my Pocket PC and find there's not a recognized application included with this package or on the Pocket PC to actually open and view them. The only work around so far seems to be adding Bluetooth to my notebook PC so I can use the built-in GPS tab for navigating - not the most mobile solution after all.
Other than those two "bumps", the on-screen maps are great and, again, the 2D and 3D views along with the fly-overs are excellent!
