Now don't quote me on this, but I think that though you can upload waypoints
and route information to and from a GPSR with the Delorme product, I don't
think you can transfer _topo_ information with it.  For that you need to use
the Mapsource product.  Now with this new version, I could be completely off
base, but that was my understanding.

I have been wrong before.
I will be wrong sometime again in the future (many times in fact)

Comforting.....
