Comments about National Geographic Weekend Explorer 3D - Pittsburgh Area, Youghiogheny River Gorge, Moraine State Park, Allegheny National Forest:

While there is a lot of fluff regarding the TOPO! products (3d view etc.) save yourself the money and go to the USGS website and download the FREE maps there. The Pittsburgh area instance of this program has virtually no hiking trails for parks SPECIFICALLY mentioned on the package. I still find myself using the state park website's maps and having to draw in the hiking route I intend to take on the TOPO! map. I'm dumbfounded that I was foolish enough to purchase this program.
