I'm using MapSend 4.2.0d in Missouri. Here's what I told Thales: The topo lines are completely different than the actual terrain, both there and here in St. Louis. It's not just that they're a little off, they're completely wrong - not for the correct areas at all.

The "Sections" I'm refering to are the roughly square red Section lines you see on a USGS map. As far as the level of detail is concerned, I don't think that's really the issue. Here's what I told Thales:

I bought a package containing the SporTrak Topo and the MapSend topo software. The GPS is fine. The MapSend topo software is to be avoided. The detail is okay except for - get this - the elevation lines. A creek near our farm is shown flowing 100 feet UPHILL! The creek is in the right spot, but who knows where the elevation lines come from. They don't appear to be from anywhere in the area. The elevations elsewhere in Missouri also seem to be completely incorrect. All other details seem to be pretty close to accurate. Sections are not shown, but this is less important to me. I'm not happy with MapSend Topo at all. If anyone has topo software that they like that works with SporTrak topo, I'd be interested to hear about it.
