Nice program. Small, simple, works very well. Too bad it uses MS Terraserver, because the maps are too old to be useful.

Good program, kind of a coincidence that the update is released at the same time as Google Earth though...

I have been using this program, off and on, for the last year. You can use it to get a birds eye view of just about any quadrant in the USA you want (it uses Microsoft TerraServer), plus you can download and print USGS Topo maps (7.5 min) You can save the maps on your computer so you can pull them up anytime you want. It also allows you to store, manage and use way-points from your GPS. Routes and tracks can also be created, displayed and transferred to your GPS. If you hike/backpack, use a GPS or just like to collect maps, this is your program....Plus it's free. If you like the program, send the guy a few bucks, he deserves it.
