       When I bought this the scale quoted for detail on the maps was the same for the state product as it was for the national product... so I bough the naional product. Now I've installed it and - SURPRISE! - when you click to zoom in, it takes you to a Nat Geo web site that asks you to buy the state map! The road I live on is NOT EVEN on the map.

    Comment:
       I wish that I had bothered to read the reviews before buying this worthless software.
    I don't understand how National Geographic could put their name on it.
    If I could I would have rated it 0 stars.
    I would tell you more about it but I would just be echoing what others have said (And I need to spend my time getting it packed up to send back!)
    This is the first product that I have sent back to Amazon. I hope they will refund my money!!
    I guess I'm stuck paying the shipping back.
    A complete waste of my time.

    Comment:
       Could not believe that this product is from Nat. Geo. It is so bad
    There is no detail whatsoever. Delorme Topo is way way by far better
    Do not wast your money on this as I did.

       Topo not exactly
    Comment:
       My husband was looking for a topo program for the Adirondacks. Not exactly what he wanted. Ended up returning the product. Topography on this program is very basic.

       Don't bother with this - I don't know how they managed to get the National Geographic name on this product. It's almost as if someone said "Let's scan a whole bunch of maps from USGS and put the worst interface in the world on the program."

    Google maps and Google Earth have better maps, better road detail, and a better interface. Plus they have satellite photos. And they are free!

    Don't waste your money. If i could rate it 0 or negative I would since it uses time and money and gives nothing in return.
