Has anyone tried this software? It is pretty awesome. I have used Delorme, NatGeo and Maptech, but this is the best so far. I can load full USGS topos onto my computer and print any section I want. I can load them onto my Pocket PC and take them into the field with me. I can also send my planned routes / waypoints to my GPS.
The new DOQQs (aerial photos) available online are even better, but a bit to big to load large sections onto the Pocket PC. I can take 100 USGS quads no problem. Quads for most states I can get free off the internet, but they do sell whole state sets (with 1:24k, 1:100k and 1:250k scales) for less than $100. It comes with elevation data, too, so I can see the maps in 3D.
I found that with the waterproof paper, you can make your own field-ready maps of any area you want (even with your own notes and marks on it).
Just wondered if anyone else has tried it. (http://www.memory-map.com/home.htm)
