It doesn't give exactly 2,000-feet per inch like a REAL topo, but it does 'function'. The closest I can get is to print them at whatever the next scale up is (0.5-miles per inch usually), then set the photo-copier to shrink the image by 75%. It can't print at ANY standard defined map scale for that matter.

However Basecamp can't print topo maps at 24k or 100k scale. I have the latest Garmin Basecamp and bought the topos for $100 to go with my Garmin Rino.

What I'd like to do is print my topo maps to scale (preferably 24k) so that the scales on my compass or map tools would work the same way that I'm used to using standard USGS 24k topo maps. Reason 2 is it's easier to take a quick look at a topo map and use a compass for quick checkss along a hike and save some battey on your GPS. Reason 1 is backup in case your GPS fails. I think it's important to have paper maps on a long hike. DeLorme continues to sell paper atlases, with more than 20 million copies sold to date.įounded in 1976, DeLorme was headquartered in Yarmouth, Maine, and was home to Eartha, the world's largest revolving globe.I'm looking for advice on the best software out there for printing topo maps. Topo includes comprehensive park, lake, river and stream data for all 50 states. Topo 10 has US and Canada topographic maps and elevation data with more than four million places of interest. DeLorme’s Topo software is one of the sources of North American trail, logging road and terrain data for outdoor enthusiasts. DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer is a complement to a vehicle’s GPS or online mapping site, allowing a traveller to browse and highlight the anticipated route and the possible activities or excursions along the way or at the destination. The company combines digital technologies with human editors to verify travel information and map details. DeLorme also produces printed atlas and topographic software products.
