I have "All Topo" from Igage, (www.igage.com), for NM. Got it as a birthday present from a friend of mine "Exactly" a year ago. Best thing I have ever seen. I can build Topo maps 35 miles square and then have a friend print them on a plotter. Would highly recommend them. So many functions and accessories that it have become invaluable for me. Jimi
My oldest son gave me a 12 CD set of topographic maps of Texas. These are made available by National Geographic. They are compatible with all leading GPS receivers, work with all TOPO interactive map CD-ROMS, includes all USA Atlas maps, live on-screen GPS tracking. Great for in-vehicle laptop use. Unlimited Waypoint storage, GPS Route Wizard. These maps are great. You can actually find the stream / river / lake that you fish, and ZOOM in for detail. You can even draw a free-hand route and TOPO ! displays its distance, generates elevation profile, and prepares for uploading to a GPS. You can visit mapXchange to find and post free, downloadable files that provide up to date info. Files are provided by many of the best names in outdoor recreation. You can also download free databases from www.topo.com I'd like to hear from anyone on the lists who has and uses this system, either for printable maps or uploading into their GPS. I haven't really done much with mine yet. Got to get a GPS first. The next thing I will do is plot waypoints for my favorite "fishin holes." There's much, much more, too lengthy to list, but these are the best, easiest to use maps that I've come across. Maps (CD's) for your state are available for $99.95 and can be ordered from.
