Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Product! Comment: This is an excellent product. Very easy to use and loads of information! Worth of money! Customer Rating: Summary: Waste of money Comment: This program does have some good hiking information but it is not very user friendly at all. The maps are the worst part of it, you can either look at a small general state map or zoom to a trail map NOTHING in-between. If you want to find trails (and don't know the trail name) you have to guess on the state which only lists major cities. All you can do is click on the small state map and hope it is near the town you are looking for. If you know the trail name then it is OK. My advice is save your money and use the internet because there are many hiking web sites that have the same or more trail information and are a lot easier to use. More Reviews
