It doesn't seem interactive at all. It is a detailed map but over ten years old makes it out of date

Apparently this map software was not for windows XP, but nothing in the sales BS indicated that. I did get it loaded & will use with xp after some difficulty. Does not integrate with the Geographic maps I already have. Cheap, got what I paid for.

Could not get anything out of this that a paper map wouldn't do better. Definitely was not going to download into my Garmin GPS which is approximately 10 years newer than this software.

fun to explore; confusing arrangement
By Sean from San Jose, CA on 05/24/2009

Useful

Confusing

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments:
The propaganda that comes with the cd-rom claims that one can download free trails into the map software. I tried repeatedly and exchanged several emails with the manufacturer. After a confusing back-and-forth in which I had to figure out which code to enter into their website, where, download what additional software, etc. etc. I am STILL not able to find the free trail maps they claim are available. Moreover, after several hours playing with the maps, I'm still learning the somewhat awkward "tools". For simple uses this is very helpful. Just find where you want to go, check the elevation, print the map. More complicated uses (printing a map with a route, for instance) take some learning.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments:
Version 2.1 of Topo software from 1999. Version or age should have been noted in description. Cannot get support or upgrades for software this old from support web site. Price was attractive, but if you are looking for current data, forget it.
