The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Best Uses
Comments about National Geographic Ultimate Outdoor Map Kit:
We bought this at the Lynnwood store with a bit of trepidation because we weren't sure if other online sites offered the same mapping capabilities for less money. Some REI employees told us it was a good program and so we purchased it. My husband tried to load the DVD onto his desktop but had lots of installation issues. Ultimately we got it to work, but then could not print any of the maps he wanted. After a couple weeks of sheer frustration and not getting any help from National Geographic, we took it back for a return.

Best Uses
- None
Comments about National Geographic Ultimate Outdoor Map Kit:
Was excited to be able to print my own maps and figured it would pay for itself vs buying individual maps.
I was wrong. Large sections of the maps are missing/greyed out, and you can't seach for specific trails in the app. You can only search by national park, then you have to physically drag around the map and find what you are looking for. The only other option is to sign onto the website and search the trails from there.
But again, large sections of popular parks and trails are unavailable, like 1/3 (east side) of the Olympic National park/forest, 1/4 of the Mt. Baker, Wenatchee/Okanogan, etc etc.
Do not buy this.

Best Uses
Comments about National Geographic Ultimate Outdoor Map Kit:
I hoped this would replace the now discontinued Nat Geog TOPO! series. It doesn't. The software is awkward at best, mostly incomprehensible. The Route screen is 1/3 blocked by the side bar. Can't add waypoints and transfer to my GPS. No tutorial. Help menu is not helpful. The package exterior doesn't tell you that you have to pay an annual fee to keep it working. Have to start with a city location and then scroll tediously to the backcountry area of interest. Printed map legend did not all print. Scaling is confusing.

- Limited Functions
- Poor Route Planning
Best Uses
Comments about National Geographic Ultimate Outdoor Map Kit:
My disappointment with this product continues. The two latest problems I've encountered with MapKit/Alltrails are: Many, many areas of the TI maps are covered with gray bars, in other words - no data; and the print function which is limited to begin with will only allow TI printing. You can't print TOPO, terrain, or other maps. Only TI.
As I've stated before, this product represents a good idea, poorly executed.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros

- Durable
- Easy to read
- Versatile
Cons
Best Uses
- Hiking
Comments about National Geographic Ultimate Outdoor Map Kit:
Having topo data and the ability to print maps is great, but the best part is online. When I'm traveling, I can easily find a hike or bike ride based on distance, difficulty, and feedback from people who've done it before.

Pros
- Ng Topo Maps Are Great
Cons
- Limited Functions Trails
Best Uses
- Ok For Nat Parks
Comments about National Geographic Ultimate Outdoor Map Kit:
NG maps are great, and this does give you the ability to print these maps. But I wanted to load the maps to my Triton GPS similar to the Topo Explorer. This is NOT like Topo Explorer. If you are looking for that you can on your registration page for Magellan, get NG topo maps for all of USA, that you can purchase for the Tritons, specific to your serial number. Another main problem, most of the trails were not trails, but were locations, ie. state campground areas, but had no trail, no trail head, nothing more than the place on the map, near a campground! Very dissapointing! The major Nat Parks had roads, not back trails from what I could see.
Service and delivery comments:
REI, is great service, and I hope to get my money back. I did return this and they have a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.
