Each National Park map also includes a PDF document with additional travel and recreation information specific to that park.

Includes fully interactive Trails Illustrated Maps™, complete with popular trails and additional travel and recreation information for each park. Powerful search function finds trails, camps and campgrounds, lakes and ponds, parks, cities and towns, USGS 7.5' quad names and much more.

Select the exact area you need and print a photo-quality custom map on any ink-jet or laser printer or plotter. Share trail files with other TOPO! users on National Geographic's mapXchange website, letting you find new and exciting routes. Software can determine the exact latitude/longitude and elevation of any point on the map, a feature that helps easily create usable GPS waypoints. Software package contains both PC and Mac versions for full compatibility across platforms, making it easier than ever to plan, print and play! Transfer your custom waypoint and route information directly to or from most handheld GPS units.
