I am going to be getting a GPS in the next few months. I found this software that a co-worker told me about. It appears to be really nice software, it allows you to configure your way points and then put them into your GPS. My question about this software is that I am so close to the California border that you would think I would want that mapping system too. For 80 bucks each I don’t want to shell out for both.

National Geographic TOPO! Interactive Maps for Whole States

Now I found this other one that contains all 50 states but I don’t know that it is as detailed as the other.

National Geographic Back Roads Explorer 3D

Has anyone here used this software or something like it? I would like something that lists trails and there difficulty. Another co-worker had a paper map of Lake Tahoe and it had all that info.

Any insight?
