Grant’s Grunts has posted a review of National Geographic TOPO! for Macs in which they go over the pluses and minuses of the product. Their review seems pretty much on target with one exception. And I have to preface this by saying that I haven’t tried the Mac version, but… In the Windows version, you don’t have to switch tools when drawing a route. When the cursor gets near the edge of the screen, it automatically repositions you.

You’re right, TOPO! does auto-scroll when route drawing, including the OS X version. I went back and checked it, it is just so slow in doing so on my machine that I hadn’t noticed (I have an older G4).
Hi Grant,
Thanks for confirming that. And thanks for the great review!
I have added a new post, updating my review of TOPO! for version 4.2.7. You can read it here: http://grantingersoll.com/?p=164
