All Topo Maps: Updated Map
Revisions
Igage continuously scans new and
updated maps as they are produced [
How AllTopo Maps are Made ].
New maps are available by DVD distribution and automated internet
download to existing All Topo Map V7 customers. Both older and newer
maps are included with All Topo Maps because some map uses are
enhanced by older maps, or the comparison of older maps with newer
maps.
Once downloaded, new maps become
part of your map set and are stored on your hard drive. You can
inspect the full lists of maps included with All Topo map sets [
here. ]
Every All Topo V7 Full Map set
includes 12 months of internet updates. Additional subscriptions may
be purchased for $25 per year.
You can see updated map
downloads in action in
Chapter 7 of the AllTopo
Training Videos [

Map Revision Example
There are thousands of maps in the
All Topo collection that have multiple revisions of quadrangles
included in the distribution media.
The All Topo Maps V7 Pro Utah
map set includes four revisions of the 'Clay Basin, UT WY'
quadrangle that straddles the Utah-Wyoming border. The oldest map in
the All Topo collection is a 1952 edition (this 1952 edition is the
latest map in several of our competitor's products):

There are also two Forest Service
Single Edition (FSSE) revisions that were acquired through digital
source. One has no vegetation layer, the other has the National
Vegetation Index overlaid. FSSE maps are included because we receive
digital copies years before new paper maps are printed. Often there
are significant changes from the FSSE digital masters to the printed
paper maps:
Finally there is a scan of the 2001
release of the 1996 dated paper map:
