Did you end up making a decision? I tried using the Topofusion a few times but found that the connection to download and save to the hard drive was too slow to be practical. I tried downloading The state of Colorado and after 3 days of downloading on a DSL connection I think it was at about 2 percent or so. I also had some trouble on two different PCs with an error message saying that the tiles wouldn't load because my color bitrate might be at an incompatible setting but I checked on both and they were OK.

I still like the National Geographic Topo 4.0 series the most from what I've looked at. I did also find out that there is a GPS mouse that will work with NGEO Topo 4.0 with a software program called GpsGate. GpsGate allows one GPS source to be used in multiple mapping programs.
