 Horrible! December 2, 2008
ibuprofen (Dallas, TX.)
This title is horrible. Clunky, S-L-O-W, non-intuitive interface and antiquated looking maps. Then, you must constantly swap CD's in and out of the drive. It was a pain and I have 3 CD-ROM drives! They should include a utility that mounts the volumes as needed from imaged CD's. Why did NG ever approve of putting their name on this? DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! Stick with Google Earth. NG Backroads Explorer 3D TOTALLY sucks.
 Works great on my mac! November 17, 2008

I have some of the national geographic state topo maps, and they do print a little prettier than these, but these will give you an overlay with the street names. They have all the detail of the USGS topo maps plus the streets. For $50 I think it is the buy of the century.
What a Rip-Off May 25, 2008
Michael Finn (Cheyenne, WY United States)
"It's almost as if someone said "Let's scan a whole bunch of maps from USGS and put the worst interface in the world on the program."" - I couldn't have summed this product better than that. Plus I agree with the reviewer who lamented zero wasn't available to assign a true value to this POS. The product is unusable in any practical way. I went to the manual that's available through help and whoever wrote it hadn't actually used this program. What the "instructions" counsel, are not related whatsoever to what's actually presented on your computer screen. Owners of this product should unite in a class action suit against National Geographic.

When I bought this the scale quoted for detail on the maps was the same for the state product as it was for the national product... so I bough the naional product. Now I've installed it and - SURPRISE! - when you click to zoom in, it takes you to a Nat Geo web site that asks you to buy the state map! The road I live on is NOT EVEN on the map.
Don't Buy This Piece Of Junk December 2, 2007
D. Stori (WNC)
I wish that I had bothered to read the reviews before buying this worthless software.
I don't understand how National Geographic could put their name on it.
If I could I would have rated it 0 stars.
I would tell you more about it but I would just be echoing what others have said (And I need to spend my time getting it packed up to send back!)
This is the first product that I have sent back to Amazon. I hope they will refund my money!!
I guess I'm stuck paying the shipping back.
A complete waste of my time.
