If the user chooses to take their laptop on the road with them and activate the GPS functionality they can use a new feature which is Nav Mode, allowing a driver to view next turn directions, speed, compass heading as well as a detailed road and contour map in the 2D map pane.

This time DeLorme has married the best parts of its popular road routing Street Atlas software with its well known TOPO product line, now giving the TOPO user voice commands to control the map and routing features, and TOPO V8 not only understands you but can respond verbally. This software is designed to work with PN series of handheld GPS receivers from DeLorme as well as the yearly $29.99 subscription to DeLorme's Netlink server, but also works fine as a stand-alone product for those wishing to dip their toe into this expansive and useful topography package. Tired of hiking only where there is a park approved trail? Afraid of venturing into the outback because you don't trust your paper maps? Always wanted to know what was beyond that electrified and closely guarded fence line? Have no fear, the DeLorme product family is the place for you.ĭeLorme TOPO software is a product that gets better with each iteration and DeLorme TOPO USA Version 8.0 is no exception.
