I bought this as a gift for father's day. My husband loves it! We then had to buy it as a wedding present for friends as they loved it too.
great features but not intuitive! [Posted on 2007-09-04]
While the software is loaded with features and works great, the user experience is fairly poor.
It is obvious that Delorme is favoring long-time users by retaining how the software worked several versions back.
But for the novice (like me), it is a very steep learning curve.
Standard actions such as mouse-wheel (+ctrl), don't do anything.
And while I could read the user manual, I just think that software should be more intuitive.
But the features a great!

The detail in the mapping is too poor for off-road use. It is better suited for RV or camper adventures. The software also does not support waypoint, route and track transfer with the Magellan eXplorist GPS units via the USB connection. This would have been nice to know prior to reading it on the already purchased software's help menu.
I found the software's interface to look childish in appearance and I did not like it. But since I won't be using this product, whether I like it, or not, is immaterial. A costly learning experience.

All in all, I like it. It has all the features you could want, it's easy to use, and pretty detailed. I love the new feature that allows you to download all the discs into the computer so you don't have to mess around with the discs after installation.
It has some roads on it that are closed, ancient and so overgrown you are better off walking through the woods along side the road. It would be nice if they were at least marked as trails. You have to zoom in too far before all the roads and trails show up on the map, so you end up with too small of an area covered on the screen so you have to print several screens to really be helpful.
It could be better, but it's the best wide coverage map I've seen yet. I do recommend it.

The 3D graphics didn't work on my vista laptop when I bought this about a year and a half ago. Maybe thay have fixed this in the meantime.
