National Geographic Topo! maps

Recommended Posts

I recently got a new computer with Vista as the operating software. I can't get it to run my NG Topo! cds. Is anybody on here running Vista successfully with the Topo! program? I looked into purchasing the upgrade from National Geographic but the most current version doesn't say it will run on Vista, just XP.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Kevin,

 

I run mine on Vista--maybe you should write NG and see what they say--i will take a look at the version when i get home and i will let you know what i have--if yours is different then that may be your problem??

Thanks. I've got version 3.4.1. Version 4 may fix the problem but its description just lists Windows 98 through XP. If you're running verion 4 and its working, I'll spend the money on the upgrade.

 

Thanks again,

 

Kevin

Right click and "Run as Administrator."

Thanks TLH. DDS, running as administrator did the same thing. The program opens but the maps don't show up. Everything else is there just not the maps. :blink:

Kevin, ask them to send you the game and fish hunting unit overlay--it is free and it is somewhere on the web site download section.

Got it up and running! Had to buy the version 4 software update. Once it was installed I had to re-install the older versions (one for NM and one for AZ). Everything is good now. AZOnecam, I don't notice any problems with panning on any level. There is a update to 4.2 that may fix your problem.

 

Thanks for all of your input and help!

BTW, the hunt unit overlays as well as some others can be loaded here: http://www.trailsillustrated.com/topo/searchlist.cfm

 

Have you guys noticed with 4.0 that at level 4 it doesn't pan smoothly anymore?

 

The link doesn't work. I did a number of searches on their website and still couldn't find the hunt unit overlays.
