Dennis,
we bought the Interactive Ranger CD. It does have the route marked and
gives information on distances between camps for the routes. It also
gives information on minimum and maximum elevations for the day and the
elevation change. These are interesting bits of information. I run a
Windows NT machine and have found that the maps do not print well at all
(might be an NT related problem since it does not say it works on NT).
the software does give info on camps and activities and has a nice zoom
in/zoom out feature. Not sure if its worth $50.00 bucks.....I was
interested in the info it provided so I liked it even if I couldn't
print the map segments.

Our first choice of Trek #20 has been confirmed and it's time to start
getting more serious information. Does anyone have experience with
the
Philmont Interactive Ranger program? Is it worth $50? We have the
sectional maps. I'm particulary interested if the program shows
hiking
routes from camp to camp or additional trails not shown on the
sectional
maps.
