    Comments about National Geographic TOPO! Outdoor Recreation Mapping Software - New Mexico:

    I'm a geologist. I have used TOPO series state maps for several years. I never carry paper maps anymore unless I'm away from the vehicle and then I use maps printed from TOPO. I have a laptop with an HD large enough to hold the maps for several states and that's what I use in the field. It has never crashed. Support from Nat'l Geographic is adequate.

    Comments about National Geographic TOPO! Outdoor Recreation Mapping Software - New Mexico:

    This product crashes multiple times throughout a session. When the software crashes and you're about to finish a map there is no autosave so you have to redo your entire map again. A good quality program shouldn't crash! Trying to distinguish between backcountry trails and other roads, rivers, streams, etc. is very difficult making your maps hard to read. The program does have a trail highlighter but is not easy to trace tiny trails with a mouse. Also, navigating around the map is very clunky and not easy to do at all.

      Comments about National Geographic TOPO! Outdoor Recreation Mapping Software - New Mexico:

      I have a love/hate relationship with this software. I love what it does, but I hate the fact that it seems "half finished." The route finding features, for example, are very useful; but the interfaces are not intuitive and it seems to have been built by someone completely unfamiliar with things like the scroll wheel on a mouse. The zoom is also frustrating - you have to choose their options, there is no infinitely adjustable zoom. Aside from those annoyances, this is probably the best mapping software out there.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
