National Parks Explorer (National Park Maps) Latest Reviews

Inhabitant Parks Explorer combines Inhabitant Geographic's wonderful Trails Illustrated maps of various Inhabitant Parks with their TOPO! mapping software. If, like me, you live in one place but stay parks around the country, this curriculum is (could be) a nice way to plan your visits and your hiking.The TOPO! software here is like their additional TOPO! harvest: it's got an scarce interface (that I think facility sweet well once you get used to it), the "routing" (depiction affect on a map) is austere but gets the job done. A nice upset is that when depiction a send, the curriculum will reluctantly stay on marked trails. There's a 3-D viewing mode which helps you envision what a hike force look like (and see), you can import and export GPX files (good for transferring to and from a GPS).The close-up maps are gorgeous and clear, they are scanned representations of the Trails Illustrated maps which I've used for years while hiking. I have two heartburn with the maps, neither of which I find a huge conundrum:1) the intermediate maps, particularly the "level 2 park maps," are actually very pitiful, but you rarely look at these;2) the zoom levels are imperfect, so it's hard to zoom in close to a agreed spot. (This is a conundrum with the underlying maps, I think, which are a coarser scale than USGS 7.5 minute quads.)The box copy talks about "park guides" but persons are not anything much, frequently a map legend and some rapid statements about park addresses and "protect your food from bears" -- i.e. what you'd find on any hiking map.My real conundrum with the product is the help. If you have a conundrum, you are in trouble. As of this writing, the curriculum has been broken on Mac OS X 10.6 for 3 months, with no broadcast statement as to when this force get fixed. I've asked additional questions about these harvest copious era and it's very hard to get answers. (On the bright side, it seems to work fine on a Windows XP virtual machine, I don't know about Win7.)

The pledge isn't splendid and the map lacks segment mileage which is actually grating. Level of top is a bit missing. A good fee but not my favorite map manufactured goods.

For Mac users you will need to d/l a patch. After that is done, it works well. I would like to see more bells and whistles as far as being able to hypothesis trips, etc. Also, a quest for a trailhead or label would be caring.

This app provides digital cinema of the document maps. Document maps are lighter than the mainframe it is installed on. Release advantage including the intention of I can see is including the intention of you can crop and print a specific portion of a map...ended and ended ended again as looked-for. And you have maps of all the major inhabitant parks in one little house. I bought this in anticipation of roving to other inhabitant parks. I may or may not get to use them anytime soon. Jury is soothe out on this product.
