Pros: 3-D
Cons: User interface, Instructions, Quality of Maps
If you are looking for topo software to print out your own maps, look elsewhere. This software is awful. Figuring out how to do things is cumbersome at best. The user manual is decidedly unhelpful. There is nothing intuitive about the user interface. It is difficult to store views to return to. Worst of all, there doesn't seem to be any way to map a route along a trail. Rather than following a trail with a draw tool that then recognizes the route, you have to place route points all along the trail. That would be fine for flat land straight trails, but if you are in the mountains, forget it. The views in preparation to print are also awful, since you only see a portion of what you are printing and can't tell what the detail is until you get a printout. California is inexplicably divided into two disks, so it costs twice as much as the equally functional but much easier to use National Geographic software. Forget this product. ...
