REI Members get back an estimated $ 5.00 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

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.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Creating routes on trails

Comments about National Geographic Southern Appalachian Mountains Explorer 3D:

I bought this software to allow me to create routable trails to transfer to my GPS. The trails are extensive and you can create new trails not already on the map. The 3d fly-overs give an idea as to the topography you're likely to encounter. the updates required to recognize some GPS units do not work and the manuals provided online are apparantly for other software since about 10 % of it refers to features not present on this software. Multiple efforts to get tech support from manufacture go unanswered. If I ever get it to upload and dowload information to my GPS, I'd raise the rating to 4 stars.
