Ron,

Between your comments, KenK's, and everyone else's so far, I have decided to wait a few weeks and order Topo USA version 6 http://www.delorme.com/topousa/whatsnew.asp

(The current version blurb is here: http://www.delorme.com/topousa/default.asp

And I note enhanced GPS capability, specifically with Garmin units...

Speaking of which, I decided to save up for a new Garmin 76Cx or 76CxS. For the small difference in cost between it and the 60CxS... they're both a little spendy. Well, if I find a killer deal on a 60Cx or CxS, that would be fine, but I'm aiming for the 76.

KenK, Thanks for the tips! I think the new version of TopoUSA is supposed to address some of your concerns. After I get it and use it for a while, I may follow your advice about the other software - I saved the link. BTW, I am certain that I read a review in which the author stated that she finally figured out how to put the whole Topo USA on her hard drive and not have to swap CDs in and out, so maybe there is a way for you to do that. I will buy the DVD version when it comes out, regardless.

Thanks to everyone for the advice, experiences, and tips!

Tom
