[Cdt-l] route planning--DeLorme Topo CD

[Garret Christensen]

Is anybody familiar with DeLorme's Topo USA software? (http://shop.delorme.com/OA_HTML/DELibeCCtdItemDetail.jsp?item=27525&section=10050)

I'm looking to do some route planning and was planning to buy several states' worth of the Nat. Geo. Topo! CDs.  I'm familiar with the Nat. Geo. stuff, but since you get one state for the same cost as the entire US with the DeLorme, I assume that DeLorme isn't as detailed.  They both seem to say that they've got 1:24,000 scale maps, but I'm hoping somebody could verify my suspicion that the DeLorme will be more like their gazetteer maps and have huge useless contour intervals or something like that.

thanks,
the Onion
