Hey thanks, Wayne.

As it works out, my brother has an ExpertGPS license, so, due to
topografix extremely liberal licensing policy, so do I! It *is* a
pretty cool program, but ... no elevation data. <sigh>

I had just about decided to buy Terrain Explorer, when it suddenly
occured to me that I'm really not all that interested in topo maps!

So I have registered my GARtrip and I'll plan on living with screen
captures of my Mapsourse/City Select maps, although I'm considering
subscribing to TopoZone because they have downloadable street maps.
