Will Topo work with any DGS?

I don't know whether you mean GPS receiver or DRG map. Topo! can upload   and download only to Garmin, Magellan, and Lowrance/Eagle GPS receivers.

As far as I know, Topo! uses a proprietary map format. Topo maps include   elevation data as well as scanned maps, so it can display elevation   profiles of routes. A searchable database of geographic names is also   included.

Does Topo work well in ocean-coast areas?  Is there a comparable system based 
more on NOAA marine charts, or is this even needed?
