[Paddlewise] Topo USA 5.0

Has anybody used this program? I used to have a copy of Topo 2.0, which 
was seriously buggy, but you could use it to draw a course through the 
marsh, then generate directions in the form of XXX miles at YYY degrees 
to this point, then ZZZ miles at AAA degrees to another point, etc.

I tried to do this with version 5.0 last night (it's still sriously 
buggy) and it wanted to default to roads. The best i could do was use 
the Trails option, but the "directions" it produced basically said "The 
finish point is 4.5 miles from the start point on a bearing of 120 
degrees." While that's technically true, there are several islands in 
the way and I'm not travelling the most direct route anyway. Apparently, 
it won't give directions in terms of coordinates, only official roads 
and trails in its database.

Anybody know how to make this useful?

And in case you're wondering, there's nothing about this is the docs, 
and no tech support number I could find.

Thanks
Steve
