National Geographic Maps is putting the final touches on a new Web site and related application that will help outdoor enthusiasts locate accurate trail and recreation information nationwide. TOPO!® Explorer, available to the public in May, will present users with National Geographic's detailed topographic maps, aerial photography, a hybrid map made from the two, and an extensive, freely browsable, online database of trail descriptions, recommendations and unique points of interest.
At launch, the TOPO! Explorer Web site, www.topo.com, will contain between 7,500 and 10,000 unique files provided by government agencies, regional trail and access clubs, publishing partners and National Geographic. Users will be encouraged to review posted trip files and share their own files using an integrated publish-to-site feature as a component of a larger social-networking portion of TOPO! Explorer.
