National Geographic Travel Destination CD-ROM
Interactive Topographical Maps (For PC's)

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.

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.

Must have been made by company which preceded Nat. Geog. Works ok on my computer. Some offered services seem to be obsolete.

There is so little to it I can't see how anyone could find it useful.

This product is difficult to use on VISTA. There are similar TOPO products where one can easily maneuver the mouse to show trails.

Nice to use to plan trips for me and my clients and gives them the option to download it to their GPS if they wish too.
