Some mapping programs allow you to copy map data from a CD to your hard drive. This is useful because then you don’t need to find misplaced data CDs or swap between CDs to view different maps. Unfortunately, many commercial mapping programs don’t give you this option.
Skirt this problem with a special type of software:
a CD emulator. This program allows you to copy the contents of a CD onto your hard drive to create a virtual CD. This tricks a mapping (or other) program into thinking that you inserted its CD when the data actually already resides on your hard drive. Sweet. Do a Google search for CD emulator to find information about various products. They tend to be reasonably priced — under $40.
