This CD only covers the parks.

Not altogether accurate.

Best look at Garmin MapViewer, since in some
places there is surprising coverage.

In Southern California it covers all NPs plus
Mojave National Preserve, San Bernardino Mountains
(including San Jacintos), the Santa Monica
Mountains -- going well beyond it's "National
Parks" name.

I noticed that it also apparently covers some National Forest land and
someone else mentioned State Lands.. so perhaps the product is not
named very appropriately.

If it covers much of the land publically held by the Fed and the
States then even with some lapses .. it could be worth the money.

or to put this another way... how useful is 24K topo's if it depicts
private land that you cannot go on - anyhow?

Isn't all you need .. the public lands?
