Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - Amazon Price is Weird?
this product (CA version) is listed for $149 at Amazon and at $99 at the National Geographic website and at REI.What's up with that?50% over the MSRP?
Rating:  - Worst user interface that I've ever seen
TOPO! has the worst user interface ever created.It doesn't follow the standard user interface designed by Apple, Adobe, and Microsoft.
- There's no hand tool to move around the map--rather you have to move your cursor to the edge of the screen and click to push the map around.Hard to control and creates lots of cursor movement
- The tool to draw routes is hard to control
Rating: - Horrible UI, slow, and crash-prone
Do not waste your money on this horrible software. Even on a 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM MacBook Pro, it staggers to run. It takes an average of 20 seconds just to change zoom levels and pans incredibly slowly. Try drawing a route and half the time the whole thing freezes and crashes and you have to start over. I'll say it again - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
Rating:  - How To Increase Its Value
With TOPO, it makes a big difference if you copy the maps from the CDs to your hard drive. That results in a much faster and better experience. Directions for copying the maps to your hard drive are on the Topo web site. Some reviewers do not realize that.
The digital maps are an extremely good value compared to paper maps!! Live Map Updates is a feature of version 4. You can download the current maps and street overlays for the quads you are interested in! And that is free.

Rating: - No backward compatibility. Very poor support
I now have their latest TOPO! 4.5, but cannot use it with my California State series maps.I've been exchanging e-mails with their customer support and they basically just recycle cut and paste's from their web site. At first I took their instructions (often contradictory) seriously and did everything they said, but none of it works. To make sure I tried it on a different computer. No go. The software often hangs up for long time, so anything you try kills a lot of time. I think it is just a very badly ... Read More
