December 17, 2011my opinion after a few hours use of Nat. Geographic Topo States softeware,
Before I bought this product I found it difficult to find reviews of Nat. Geographic topo state software as well as MapTech Terrain Navigator software, so I am giving this input for future customers. MapTech provides a demo. I’d say I prefer MapTech’s 3D to Nat. Geographic’s 3D version. Nat. Geographic provides more features such as greater grid spacing options. But don’t expect either to print with the resolution of the regular 1:24,000 USGS maps; both software brands have to default to a larger scale to get that kind of resolution and clarity at least with ink jet printers. National Geographic Topo’s 50% default setting results in an approximate print scale of 1:31,000 which results in very good clarity. However even at 1:24,000 they are legible (although a bit fuzzy). They will both save you money verses buying the regular topo maps (after 20 or so store-bought maps considering your ink and paper costs) plus they give you advantages if you use a gps unit especially in overlaying grids, trail markers, etc., on the printed-out maps. But don’t forget it takes more than (4) 8 1/2″ x 11″ printouts to match one regular store bought 1:24,000 topo map.
