Before I splurge on Topo map software I want to see if anyone at ETS has hands-on experience and opinions on topo map software for the USA. I intend to purchase Delorme Topo USA v 6.0 when it comes out in a few weeks. AFAIK, one of the minor flaws up through v 5 is that elevations may not be as precise as some would like – that’s not a concern for me.

I intend to use the software to do map recon for potential trips, route planning, custom maps for personal backpacking trips and for scout backpacking trips, etc.

At the consumer end of things, this seems to be the most suitable software available and the cost is quite reasonable. Suggestions and feedback appreciated.

TIA,

Tom
