TOPO States, BRE updated
National Geo has released TOPO States and Back Roads Explorer (BRE) 4.2.8u, updating both applications enabling users to explore the outdoors from different map scales. TOPO States has 1-to-24,000-scale maps, and comes with 1-6 states depending on the size of the states. Back Roads Explorer includes all 50 states at a 1-to-100,000-scale with up-to-date street overlays. TOPO States includes an auto update feature and connects to most GPS equipment made for uploading and downloading waypoints as well as tracks and routes. TOPO States imports as well as exports GPX files, while a search feature allows users to locate streams, lakes, rivers, summits, and more. Both applications run natively on Intel-based Macs as Universal Binaries with TOPO States priced from $80-90 and Back Roads Explorer available for $50. Both applications work with Mac OS X as well as Microsoft Windows (specific system requirements were unavailable).
