Jenny-

If your patron is using TopoUSA version 1.0, I would suggest he check our
web site- www.delorme.com/topousa to review the improvements we've made in
version 2.0. This major new upgrade of Topo USA features 20-foot contour
intervals for all states (except Alaska, which has 100-foot intervals),
300,000 miles of trails, a clean new interface and nine times more 3-D data
than version 1.0. This product also features a new user interface with
extended draw functions to further customize the map.
