Changes in AccuTerra Maps are underway. IF you get the newsletter, you already know about this. These changes began in version 4.8.5.
Single Layer
AccuTerra is becoming a single layer map for overall better performance. It has all the layers that the three layer map had combined. The current three layer map will be discontinued at the end of January 2013. If you bought after January 2013, you never had the three layer map, and you will not miss it. It was pretty much the same as the single layer map, except it took longer to download and longer to display.
Level 16
The new single layer map has data up to zoom level 16. This has been newly updated for 2013.
Hybrid Maps.
Two new maps called "Hybrid: CalTopo with AccuTerra" and "Hybrid:USTopo with AccuTerra" are now available as map sources. These are two layer maps.
They can be chosen just like any other map source, from "More Map Sources".
Reporting coverage issues.
Since these maps from Accuterra are new, you may find areas where they haven't filled in properly yet.
For example:
- I found that an area around Mt Hood, OR
- Another user found an area that was missing data around Nampa ID at zoom level 13 for the hybrid maps.
We are reporting any gaps we find. NeoTreks hopes to have any corrections made by the end of January 2013, so that everyone can switch over smoothly.

I like the way you keep us informed and work to keep your "and our" software up to date and leading edge with improvements. You commented that you are getting some hate mail and other negative email. Don't let it get you down. The majority of us are mature enough to understand that you have worked hard to make it as good as it is and I say THANKS for a job well done.
Nathan and crew, you are doing an outstanding job! I use BCN every day in my real estate business, and don't know how we ever managed without BCN. But now you've outdone yourself with the new USTopo/AccuTerra hybrid maps. This hybrid map is perfect for helping customers understand the lay of the land, before we leave the office. I can't imagine how you could make this app better, but have no doubt that you will. Thank you! -=Tom=-
It appears there are some issues with the new servers as of Saturday evening, Jan 12th.
The issues cleared up as of Sunday morning, Jan 13th.
According to a report from Neotreks, you all were very enthusiastic this first week and generated a large number of hits.
I am now getting Accuterra and also Hybrid:CalTopo with Accuterra maps up to zoom level 20, although they only seem useful op to level 17. the Hybrid maps are useful and very nice.
I should not subscribe for updates etc, from my PC but from my mobile device from which I will be using the app most. Right?
Trying to download right now (for the last 3 days) and those servers seem to be problematic as I am stuck at 87%....
The Accuterra servers...
Accuterra servers seem to suck from my experience...
