Ouch...,September 1, 2009
By Anonymousfrom Mitkof Island, Alaska
"DeLorme TOPO 8.0 was a real let down after owning 9 DeLorme State Atlas of quality topographic maps. Buyer beware…. Downside: My expectations were simple. I thought I would get 5-6 CD’s with good quality topo maps of western states. What you get is one CD with a topo map operating system and very rough base-map. If you like using 7.5, 15, and 30 minute USGS maps this product is a disappointment. The base-map quality is so rough as to be useless for field use, or even planning field trips. The legend design is non-standard and does not match USGS legend graphics. If you use on-line ALIS or LR2000 mapping systems for land ownership and topo information, this DeLorme product is a letdown. Basically the TOPO 8.0 marketing pictures and advertizing descriptions are very misleading as they show mostly ‘after market’ add-on maps you must import from other sources. Upside: If you are looking for a quirky high tech city street map navigation system to locate fast food, motels, etc. this might work for you. You can even load your routing information into some handheld GPS products currently on the market. Bottomline: I own better quality electronic marine chart and highway navigation operating systems. DeLorme has a market out there for quality 7.5 topo maps on CD’s with minor operating system features like field routing and profiles. I have high hopes their next product design will fill that niche for hunters, prospectors, trappers, etc. This TOPO 8.0 misses the mark by a mile."

Disappointed,June 22, 2009
By ocotillo10from Los Angeles
"Topo 8.0 requires DirectX-10 to operate the 3D graphics. DirectX-9.0 will not work. They don't state this on the box or the product information. Without DirectX-10 the 3D application will not work, which was the only reason I had purchased Topo 8.0.
In addition, I found the rest of Topo 8.0 unnessarily complicated. It could have been made more User friendly."
