What Type of Computer Do I Need for Topo/NZ?


For MapToaster Topo/NZ for your PC, the following is required:

  • 1GHz or greater CPU speed (actually the software works fine on slower computers, but this is the minimum we recommend).
  • Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7 or XP, with a minimum of 512MB, 1GB is recommended.
  • The software will most likely work without difficulty on Windows 98 and Windows 2000, but it is not officially supported.
  • The software has been tested on Macintosh with VMware Fusuion and Parallels and works fine.
  • Windows XP Table PC Editon - MapToaster Topo correctly handles changes in screen orientation.

Versions of Windows prior to Windows XP may require that you install this software from Microsoft.

MapToaster Mobile/NZ for your Garmin GPS can be supplied in either PC or Mac OS X formats. For use on a PC you also need a copy of Garmin MapSource (also called Trip and Waypoint Manager). On a Mac, you also need Garmin RoadTrip software.
