Bill,

You may want to try the National Geo version. They are on sale for $1.95, Death Valley only, at Sierra Trading Post. They get mixed reviews but the price is right to give them a try.

we have both the DeLorme Stree Maps and Topo..... and they have worked very well. We often run them both and use them together.

Are you talking about Nat Geo Topo State Series? If so, where are you finding it for $79? Its $99 on the N/G website and at REI. I need Arizona and Utah this year. (Anyone want to part with theirs?)

my 2 cents

I use N/G Topo State, Magellan, and Garmin. Sorry I don't have Delorme to compare to, But of the ones I have, they all have their good and bad sides. I'm not taken with any of them. I do use N/G the most but I dislike the user interface. It also runs much better on a PC than it does on a Mac. (I think the programmers kind of phoned it in when they ported it over to the Mac.) I think it has the best content of the three that I have. Easy to make small hard copies. (Kind of mini-quad maps.) N/G does have decent support. Magellan's software was unfinished when they released it, then had to recall the disks. Then later they abandoned me when I cracked my disk. Told me I have to buy the program again. (Yeah right!)

What I am waiting for is the new Ipad and hoping that SpatialMinds will release a Mac App version of Overland Navigator for it.

DeLorme Street Maps and Topo for me as well. They updated the Topo this year with Street Directions and more. I will be updating on all three of my traveling computers.
