2.0 out of 5 stars Maps great, CD unusable, August 26, 2002

By	Ferenc Jacso (Centennial, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Colorado's 14ers CD/Map Combo (Audio CD)

The maps in this publication are really great with all the details, suggested routes, full color, topographic. I used them in combination with National Geographic's Trails Illustrated topo maps and found them better in some respect then those Trails Illustrated. Actually, they complement each other, you can use them together if you want as many details as possible (name of mines, trails, etc.)

However, I had to return the CD. The software crashed every time after a few minutes of use. Maps are scanned in a kind of low quality. I installed the software to Win 2k Pro and Win XP Home, and it crashed all the time, looked like a Win 3.1 application. I even mailed to the tech support of the software publisher they responded fast (good job!). They let me know they don't support this software any more, there are no new versions or updates available.

The map package is available separately at some book stores. I definitely recommend that map only package but not this combination with the useless CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for Colorado 14'er Climbers, July 17, 1999

By A Customer

I had the pleasure of using the map pack on a recent week of 14'er bagging. The maps are larger versions of the ones included in the second edition of the book. The back of the map contains detailed info on the "most popular" route. I currently use the original edition of Roach's book with the new map pack. Since the new color maps in the 2nd edition of the Colorado Fourteeners book do not photocopy well, the single page maps(approximately legal size) are more convenient than carrying the entire book. If you are a map fanatic like me, there is much to enjoy. Unfortunately, there is no geoposition data on these maps for GPS fanatics.
