DeLorme 3-D TopoQuads: We used to go to map stores and buy topo quads for the areas that we liked to frequent, but that got expensive after a while. So, we purchased the DeLorme 3-D TopoQuads for the state of Arizona. This is a real money saver - for $99.95, you can buy the 10 CD-ROM set and never have to buy topo maps again. The maps are pretty accurate and are user-friendly. Plus, you can print only the sections that you need on 8-1/2" X 11" paper - you won't have to carry around a big, cumbersome map. These maps work well when used in conjunction with your GPS device. The downside is that the purchase price is a little steep.
