Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good Accurate Mapping
All information is in USGS 1:100,000 scale for road and very good hiking mapping and navigation. Its all very, very easy to learn and includes cool features to customize your maps like adding notes, showing your trails and routes, elevation profiles for hiking mountains and a 3D feature. This allows you to actually view your route as your travel in simulation at varying angles. The `Search' feature is very handy in locating just about anything you are looking for in that section/region of the map. ... Read More
Rating:  - National Geographic TOPO Maps
This product is very hard to use, especially if you are trying to download it to a Magellan Triton 500. Not user friendly or intuitive at all.
Rating: - Buyer Beware!
I bought this software based on the belief it would show trail maps for hiking. Trail maps are only available via a download (not a big deal), but trail maps for PA and NJ don't exist!!!
If you want maps that show existing trail maps for hiking in PA, do not purchase this software.
Rating: - 0 stars. Ripoff. Can't download maps to GPS
After spending $250 on a GPS, $40 on a memory card, and $100 on this software (all at the advice of REI (yeah, I bought it from REI, not Amazon)), I saw that the fine print of the software says you can't download the maps to your GPS.

Rating: - TOPO! California
Good product and fairly easy to use. The software allows you create straightforward topo maps at whatever scale you desire. I am an archaeologist and most mapping software is extremely expensive. TOPO! is reasonable priced and produces quality results.
The only reason I did not give 5-stars is because the waypoint labeling information is cumbersome and difficult to edit.
