National Geographic’s Back Roads Explorer is Finally Fully Mac Compatible

According to a note from National Geographic, their Back Roads Explorer, an 18-disc U.S. recreational atlas on CD-ROM, is now available in a PC/Macintosh hybrid format, granting all outdoor enthusiasts, regardless of their computer platform, access to this resource that can help them find their way to hunting or fishing grounds, hiking trails, scenic byways and other remote locales. Back Roads Explorer combines seamless 1:100,000-scale USGS topographic maps with the most current road information available.

There are easily downloadable maps for a Palm or Pocket PC and it's compatible with Garmin, Magellan, Lowrance and Eagle GPS units. Powered by TOPO!, National Geographic’s award-winning map software, Back Roads Explorer carries a fairly reasonable SRP of $59.95. [Bill Fox]
