Product Description
The Map Library Subscription card provides unlimited downloads for one-year to the DeLorme Map Library using Topo USA 8.0 software (sold separately). This library lets you select U.S.geographic areas of interest and download USGS 7.5-minute topographic quad maps, color satellite maps, and NOAA nautical charts using the NetLink tab of Topo USA. Once downloaded, they’re yours to keep. Topo USA software is available separately or included with the DeLorme Earthmate PN-Series GPS. Topo USA contains the blended DeLorme vector street and topographic maps. The additional map types downloaded from the Map Library are yours to layer on the DeLorme PN GPS, enabling you to switch among map types of your GPS location. It’s amazing!… More >>

I don’t know if it was a specific problem with this particular order or if it was just a mixup in the shipping dept. at Amazon, but received a completely wrong item. If you are really anxious for this right away, suggest you download directly from DeLorme.

If you could actually download the maps successfully, this would be a great deal…but Delorme seems to place a 13-20kbps limit on the download (that’s in addition to the prep time required between placing the order and the data being available for download). Consider that a 35sq mi aerial set will be around 500mb, you can see how virtually unusable this service is.
Delorme support is slow and not particularly responsive. Topo USA software is a bit buggy, especially when it comes to acquiring the maps, and the SP1 they pointed me to a week after I submitted the ticket (the software didn’t alert me via its update notification) didn’t really fix the problem. Searches on the support site for the error messages and issues weren’t very fruitful either.

This review is for the Delorme Map Library Subscription Card. I have started downloading additional charts, maps, and images to use on the computer and on the handheld pn-40. Using the software is easy. The downloads can be slow and fail ten percent of the time, but after applying all Topo version 8 fixes, download failures have almost gone away. When downloading charts you can do 5 at a time and this may be good because of the download time. A better index of charts would be helpful, but this is making my handheld GPS into a chart plotter. Over all this is a good value to go along with the Delorme software and handheld GPS.

The interface for cutting your maps makes it hard to download large areas. This is very inefficient for example with the Canadian map packages. Sure its a great deal but you have to be willing to do hours worth of work to download the maps you want. It would be nice if they just had a topo map package of Canada. That said the aerial downloads for U.S. and hi resolution city imagery are amazing.

If you alrady have any of the Topo maps all you have to do is place the code in the appropriat place and off you go. Great product to have if you like to download maps to your GPS or just download them.
