Amazon.com Review:
Look up obscure country lanes, view 3-D topographical maps of national landmarks like the Hoover Dam or Mount Saint Helen's, and navigate the complicated roadways of America's biggest cities with Topo USA 4.0, a seven CD-set that puts the whole country at your fingertips.

Designed to be compatible with GPS devices and handheld computers like the PalmPilot, Topo USA 4.0 can work out routes for road trips, locate obscure locales within the U.S., and even find hiking trails before you embark on a walking tour. For those with fewer gadgets, the program is still useful--you can build your own maps, customize them to an extraordinary degree, and print them out for trips and outings.

It takes a bit of work to learn the ropes with Topo USA 4.0, and some of its GPS features are available only as extras from the software manufacturer, Delorme. With a bit of practice, however, users will find the program runs smoothly and without glitches, providing topographical and two-dimensional maps of every portion of the United States, at a high level of detail. Add to this the ability to filter out any information that isn't of interest, and the updates to the map database that are available on the Web, and the result is a powerful interactive atlas, a thoroughly useful guide for getting around the USA. --Alyx Dellamonica

Amazon.com Product Description:
Topo USA 4.0 delivers amazing versatility and highly detailed topographical maps of the entire U.S. New with this release is split-screen viewing that lets you look at 2-D and 3-D maps side by side. Hover your cursor over the 2-D map and see its position echoed on the 3-D map. Linked drawing tools mark both maps simultaneously, while the zoom level of each split-screen image adjusts independently. Add your own trails and road routes--a DeLorme exclusive. Draw in trails or roads anywhere on the map and they become part of the routing network--it's that easy. Plus, you receive a free color satellite imagery download.

A range of features makes Topo USA 4.0 a must-have. Newly added trails and roads are listed directly in the program's search engine, making searching simple. It also includes GPS tracking in 3-D and easier waypoint management. Track your position on both 2-D and 3-D maps using your laptop and DeLorme's Earthmate GPS receiver. Its waypoint wizard downloads tracks from Garmin, Brunton, Magellan, and other compatible handheld GPS receivers. Topo USA 4.0 also makes it easy to load other DeLorme data sets and more than 300,000 miles of updated trails, including those of national parks and ranger districts, from its database.

- A bargin
I have used Topo USA 4 for two years now and have found it to be a very good product for my needs. At first I found it frustrating to use but as I used my head and figured out how it works I really like it. Contrary to what some say, DeLorme always promptly responding to my inquiries on line.

I think you have to be realistic about learning to use a product that is this complicated. It is amazing that you get maps covering the etire U.S. and the ability to download to a GPS for under ... Read More

- powerful program for the money
I found this software to be a great buy. I had no problems with the 3D features. I was worried because I installed it on a computer that was about 2yrs old but it worked fine. I did have to read the manual that comes on the disc to get to know all the features and how to use them to full advantage. (it would have been nice if it came with a hard copy but you can print it out). This program is very powerful for the money. For a quick example, by just clicking on the screen you can get distances or even ... Read More

- Not as up-to-date as one would hope
Just purchased Topo USA 4.0 Mountain States Region for $39.98. This is a good product, but the maps are way out of date. For example, I live in an area that is over 6 years old and still does not show up in the maps -- period. In fact, I'm amazed how out of date these maps appear. My little old Microsoft Streets & Trips 2004 is much more up to date. That's a shame because Topo USA 4.0 gives me the layout of the land, elevation, etc. It believe it also will update it's screen about once a second ... Read More

- Far from what it is billed to be
If you are interested in seeing 3D renditions of terrain then this has something to offer. The problem comes when you want to try and navigate the wilderness in any way. The trails, while routable, are extremely far from comlpete, and Mapquest is much better at creating street routes. Also, the interface gives you the option to make certain points of interest visible, but the program will NOT show them no matter what. You can search for specific campgrounds, and most can be found, but none are visible. ... Read More

- Doesn't Work on New Systems
I bought an earlier version of Topo on DVD. I was satisfied with it but then I upgraded to Windows XP and my DVD will no longer work. Delorme doesn't support the older version and suggests I buy a new one at full price. They didn't offer a lower cost upgrade. So beware if you buy this software. It may not work with Microsoft's next OS upgrade!
