TopoFusion is a Windows application that maps GPS data on Topo and Aerial maps for the United States.

It was created from the ground up to display Terraserver image data as quickly as possible.

It reads and writes the GPX format as its primary file format. TopoFusion supports all Garmin and Magellan GPS units.

TopoFusion Basic has more basic features and runs on the older DirectDraw platform. If you're looking for an easy to use, no frills mapping software, look no further. The great thing about this version of TopoFusion is that it runs FAST on even the oldest and slowest of laptops. TopoFusion set the standard for GPS mapping, and continues to be used by thousands of GPS enthusiasts.


Here are some key features of "TopoFusion Pro":
