DeLorme sells a topo program, and I had a early version back in 2006. It has a plug in GPS receiver for a USB port. Basically I could use my 15" computer screen as a GPS!
I could also plan a route in about 2 minutes. Then check the maximum grade, or things such as counting the feet in elevation change over the distance of the route. I had used it to avoid several steep grades.
You can also look up anyplace in the United States with maps.google.com and then click on Terrain! It will offer a topo map of anyplace!
