Uintas Mega Map

Topo has more accurate trails and more detail than Delorme. I use Delorme to quickly route a trail to get distances and elevation gain/loss. It's not 100% accurate, but usually close enough to give you an idea of what to expect.

Okay, despite MyTopo's miserable user interface, I found something I really like about it. The ability to make a map and then make an identical map but using satellite images instead. So for my trip this weekend, I have a topo of the East Fork Bear River drainage printed on 11x17 and then on the other side of the same sheet, I have the satellite image. Not too shabby...

So as you all probably know, NatGeo's Topo! data was transitioned to AllTrails.com in early 2012.

How has this affected your opinions on topo software? Have any of you signed up for a pro account yet? I'm thinking about doing it. $50/year seems like a great deal, esp. given all the paper maps I end up buying. Anyone know if it's even worth/possible buying the old NatGeo desktop software? thanks!
 
I use Mapsource / Basecamp......bought the 24K ones I needed. Integrates with my Garmin GPSr.
Also have the Nat Geo disks of the West I use to print neat things.
 
I use All Topo Maps by iGauge. Very professional and user friendly. They also have vintage maps that show locations of roads / mines and other sites that aren't' on current quads.
