TOPO! Software
Create Your Own Maps
Our TOPO! Map Software is the easiest way to create and print your own custom topographic recreation maps. Choose from our best-selling State Series, new TOPO! Explorer, or our value priced Weekend Explorer products.
Which TOPO! Software is Right for Me?
Choosing the right TOPO! software is easy. We offer (3) different packages, which contain authentic USGS 7.5' topographic maps and an easy to use set of tools for printing, searching, and customizing your own recreation maps. All TOPO! software packages are both Mac and PC compatible.
What are the differences between TOPO! State Series, Weekend Explorer, and TOPO! Explorer?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both TOPO! State Series and Weekend Explorer use our latest TOPO! V4 software, which contains popular features such as elevation profiling, 3D fly-throughs, road/streets overlays, GPS communication, and of course high resolution printing. The only difference between these packages are the amount of map coverage they contain. State Series titles contain 1000's of USGS 7.5' topographic maps for an entire State or group of States (for example California or New England) while Weekend Explorer contains 100's of USGS 7.5' topographic maps for popular recreation areas near major cities (for example Denver and the Front Range, or Sacramento and Lake Tahoe.) State Series products are $99.95 MSRP. Weekend Explorer products are $29.95 MSRP. See the TOPO! State Series and Weekend Explorer webpages for more details.
TOPO! Explorer is our latest product in the TOPO! Family, released in May of 2008. It uses a different web based software application which makes it easy to customize and print USGS topographic maps. This application contains many of the same features found in TOPO! State Series and Weekend Explorer. The greatest difference between TOPO! Explorer and other TOPO! software products are its maps. TOPO! Explorer does not come with a pre-defined set of USGS Quads, instead the application enables you to download the exact maps you need from topo.com. (The application comes with 25 map download credits - additional credits can be purchased in packs of 10). See the TOPO! Explorer webpage for more details.
