I'm getting really pissed with Delorme Topo 5.0

Feel free to use this area for general banter but keep it clean.

Works intermittently with my Garmin Vista Hcx.

Maps are very nice but a lot of quirky crap that makes me MAD.

Other suggestions for proggies pls.

USAPhotoMaps is free
haven't really tried Google Earth, but it might do topo stuff now (plus satellite)

Speaking of which, I got the chip from EMS. This is the expanded chip for the Garmin for the East Coast right? Is it compatible with the Topozone 7.0?

I know I had to get a firmware upgrade from the Garmin site to get mine to work with Topo 5.0 Still then it's kind of a pain, or it may just be me not doing it often. See if I can find that link for you.
