I'd be happy to post a sample or two of what my MapSource Topo maps look like for a given area so you can compare them to what you already have. Any particular area you'd like me to make a map of, for comparison purposes? The sample maps might not look perfect, since I'll likely have to downsample them a bit so they're not huge files, but it'll give you a frame of reference.
I think a new version of the Topo software is coming out soon, since I noticed Garmin dropped the price a bit. My copy's about six or seven months old.
PS: I added your
WildflowerHaven.com to the Web Guide. Great work, Rich! We even used it on Saturday to scout wildflowers -- that field you noted outside of La Vernia is a feast for the eyes! This year does seem to be a little "understated" compared to previous years, though.
