Has anyone used the National Geographic WeekendExplorer 3D mapping software?
Just bought it on Amazon and so far I like what I see.

I have not, I have a hard time spending money on that kind of stuff when I can get topo's for free and use GE. I do have Mapsource with the paid version of Garmin topo series and I still go back to GE.

ALso, another interesting thing is overlaying topo maps in GE. I have been using the maps from this post: http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2006/03/best_topo_map_i.html but have also seen this post which looks interesting.

That is pretty amazing.
makes it much easier to figure out points in GE when you have the topo overlay
