The upgrade is $20.
Kurt, your right, Version 3.xx doesn't have that option. This is the way I did it with V3
"Q: Can I load maps from the CDs on to my hard drive?
A: Yes. TOPO! 3.3 has three primary ways of locating maps on your hard
drive. First, it looks for maps stored in the "TPO_DATA" folder, which is
located in your installation folder (for instance, "C:\TOPO!\TPO_DATA").
You can copy as many individual maps (files with a .tpq extension) from
your CDs to the TPO_DATA folder as you want. Second, it looks for maps
in folders that you specify through the Map Folders dialog. You can
open this dialog by going to the Preferences menu and selecting
Map Folders. You can then specify up to ten folders where TOPO! 3.3
should look for maps. Third, it will find data folders that are copied to
the root of any of your local drives or mapped network drives. On each TOPO!
CD there is a folder that looks like "XX_Dnn" where XX is a state prefix
and nn is a number. If you copy that entire folder to the root of your
hard drive, TOPO! 3.3 will find it. For this method to work, you must copy
the entire folder.
Examples:
1) You own TOPO! California and you want to load the contents of Disk 4 to
your hard drive for faster access. To do this, copy "CA_D04" from the CD
to "C:\CA_D04" (or to the root any other local drive). Alternatively,
you can copy it to your TPO_DATA folder (for instance, "C:\TOPO!\TPO_DATA\CA_D04").
Another alternative is to create a new folder (for instance, "C:\My Maps")
and copy "CA_D04" to it. You would then need to select "C:\My Maps" in the
Map Folders dialog to tell TOPO! to include this folder when it searches
for maps. "
