Delorme disappoints for the most part, but still is adequate for the topo user with casual needs

I've used various Delorme products for a long time. I've stopped buying some of their products, such as their Street Atlas for Handhelds which has become essentially unusable and is increasingly feature impoverished compared to competitors such as TomTom.Because I have little use overall for topographical maps, I skipped a version and recently went from version 4.0 to 6.0. Despite their advertising claims, not much has changed.The user interface is distinctively Delorme, utterly unintuitive and...

decent software

This is a good software for casual use (hiking, biking, geocaching), but not without issues. On the positive side, it definitely beats all non-digital (scanned USGS maps) alternatives. The level of details is good enough(how many of us need to know topography down to 5 feet?). The fact that maps are digitally generated (with vectors I believe) makes all the labels clear at any scale. It has two advantages over its main "digital" competitor, NG Topo. First, all of the US is on one DVD for the price...

Junk

As is typical with software claiming to be "topo", it is not. Expecting that the buyer of topos will typically be someone looking for USGS quads this software is not as advertised.Since I own the other major competing program (for which you need to buy each state in order to get Quads (and for which I can not seem to find Wyoming)), I was eagerly awaiting this package.In five minutes I realized Delorme is essentially useless to the backpacker/mountain biker (et al). You can order quads very simply...

Good for casual map geeks and pre-trip planning

Summary: Adequate for armchair map browsing and finding and planning routes to follow when driving or hiking.I've only been playing with the program for about a week, but decided to get a quick review in since there weren't any others here.It's my only mapping program, so I have nothing to compare it to.The program is rather sluggish in moving around the screen and does not display the billboards (upright labels in 3D mode) with a 128 MB video card, even though it says it needs only 32 MB.Other...
