 Excellent, when you get it workingAug 04, 2009
By Steven B. Bowling

Make sure your computer is completely updated (latest OS service packs, browser version, and video card drivers) or Topo 8.0 will not work. Once it's working, however, it does everything advertised and more. The interface is pretty easy to pick up without reading through any manuals.
The wealth of information that you can glean from a created route is outstanding. The 3D feature is fun to play with. You can get aerial or satellite images to create a more visually-realistic 3D image (the software comes with a certificate for $40 of downloads from Delorme's library).
If you want to plan hikes or cycling routes, this software is an outstanding tool.
Topo USAApr 07, 2012

I bought to use in my daughter's Wrangler on my laptop with a Delorme GPS antenna. I think the Jeep trails on the map could be more evident but we haven't actually gone off road with it, yet. Maybe I'll take a paper topo map with me as they clearly show the Jeep trails.
LOTS OF POTENTIALApr 01, 2012
By calapp
Lots of potential but a steep learning curve and you need to purchase add-ons to maximize use. I got a coupons for add-ons with it.
 User interface not friendlyDec 21, 2011
By Nitty's Mom

The maps are good, but the user interface truly stinks. If they had a video tutorial or any decent documentation it would help, but as is, it is fairly useless.

Don't buy unless you own a Delorme GPSDec 16, 2010
By Happy Hunter
I bought this hoping to use it with my Garmin GPS and was disappointed when I found out I couldn't. The software itself is ok but you have to purchase satellite imagery at an additional cost. I find myself using Google Earth and the mapping software that came with my Garmin GPSMAP GPS rather than Topo USA.
Topo USA does do a very good job illustrating terrain in 3D and I do use this feature if I need it but I have to enter coordinates into my GPS manually. If you own a Delorme Earthmate GPS then Topo USA would be much more useful.
