Summary: Problems using CD with Mac
Comment: I pre-ordered the Woodall's North American Campground Directory with CD, 2008 and received it the day after Christmas. The book is what you expect from Woodall's--an extensive listing of campgrounds with very little information on each, buried in page after page of ads, hard to use but useful for finding and doing the initial screening of campgrounds which you then have to call to get the up-to-date information you really need.

But the CD won't load on my Mac (OS X Leopard 10.5.1) as advertised. I called the 800 number on the CD case and got an "...extension 492 is invalid..." message so I hit "0" and got a very nice operator. She listened to my problem and then said, "Let me switch you to Lance." After leaving voice mails over several days, I finally got Lance on the phone and he immediately decided that I had received a corrupt CD. He overnighted one to me but I got the same error with it. I'm now leaving voice mails again in hopes that he will solve my problem.

So, the book is mediocre, the CD won't work, and support is..., well, I'll be nice and just say that it's lacking. Two stars is generous, in my opinion. If I don't receive satisfaction soon, I'll return the package for a refund.

Well, at least they've fixed their phone system. I got through to Lance a week ago and he said there were problems with the software on Macs with the latest version of Leopard (OS X 10.5.1). He advised me to watch the CDROM Web site (not their main site--see CD package) for an updated version. Nothing yet. My disappointment continues.

***Added on January 29, 2008***

Lance now says that they're not sure they'll be able to get the program to work on a Mac with Leopard OS X. He offered to refund my money. Bummer. Oh, and their 800 number is again going to an invalid extension. Kind of makes you wonder.
