Customer Review: The best value in mapping software, bar none!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used DeLorme TopoUSA products for going on a decade now, so I have lots of experience with it from it's earlier days as a pioneering product in the consumer digital mapping field. Once I "got the hang of it", it's been an indispensable tool in the backcountry. Hook a GPS to the laptop, load up the DeLorme mapping software, and you get a dot on the map at the precise location you are at. During my backcountry adventures, I've found jeep trails using DeLorme mapping software that I couldn't even see on the ground due to terrain conditions, nighttime, etc. The added benefit of handheld mapping GPS units from DeLorme has only made their mapping products even more useful. Maps downloaded through this subscription can also be downloaded into DeLorme's handheld gps units.
This subscription to the DeLorme download service for added 7.5 minute USGA topo maps, charts, aerial, and satellite photography has been a wonderful addition to the product. I've been using it since around March, 2009. I have two different laptops, a Gateway that's probably three years old, and an Acer that is going on two years old. Neither model is considered "top of the line" as far as speed goes. However, I've never had a problem downloading any maps into DeLorme 7.0 on either computer. The download speeds have been great through our DSL service and wireless home network. While I agree with some other reviewers that it would be nice to be able to download larger single files, I have never had a problem merely creating more files and downloading them back to back, which is done automatically once the maps are selected. I merely choose the maps, aerial, or satellite photography I want, let the software create the files, submit the order three or four files at a time, and often the first maps are ready to download before I'm done choosing the last maps for my map download session. After that, it's all automatic. I have not experienced, on either of my computers, the types of problems others have had, so I can only suggest that the cause of their difficulties might be more due to their particular network issues rather than problems with the software itself. What's more, I've learned that one can also copy map files from one computer to another, thus I only need to download the maps one time to one computer, then I can transfer them easily to the other computer as well. Additionally, when one of my computers "crashed" and needed to be restored, I had to have the keycode reactivated on that computer through DeLorme's customer service line, which was handled by DeLorme's UNITED STATES BASED SUPPORT PEOPLE in mere minutes.
Since I also own mapping products from both Garmin and National Geographic, and Wildflower before them, I can attest to the fact that all of them have a proprietary user interfaces which require some getting used to. None of them can be considered "standard". There are a few features in each of the other products I like, some individual features even better than DeLorme. However, I always seem to come back to DeLorme for overall ease of use, available features in one package, and for the value received for my dollar spent in added maps and photography. I can attest to the fact that if one were to purchase from other vendors the volume of maps and photography equal to what is available for around $30 a year through the DeLorme subscription, one would indeed pay many hundreds, if not well over a thousand dollars.
When one also includes the potential for updated maps and photography through the DeLorme download service over time, it makes this subscription an incredible value that I have not been able to even come close to duplicating anywhere, and believe me, I look for the best deals I can find.
I have not been in the least bit disappointed, and I will most definitely renew this subscription.
