Looking around Trimble's website (the company that makes very expensive pro GPS devices), I found this - had always wondered what Trimble's relationship was to Trimble Outdoors. IIRC, people used to post links to MyTopo here when referencing USGS maps, and those links stopped working awhile ago. I guess this is the end of the line for whatever was left of MyTopo.

"In May of 2011, Trimble acquired privately-held MyTopo™ based in Billings, Montana. MyTopo is a leading provider of print and digital maps for outdoor enthusiasts. The acquisition expands Trimble's ability to offer unique map content and new outdoor-centric products while simultaneously enhancing its popular mobile apps—Trimble Outdoors™, AllSport GPS™, Geocache Navigator™, Cabela's Recon™ Hunt, and Backpacker GPS Trails. MyTopo offers several products to outdoor consumers using its topographic, satellite and aerial photograph map imagery. Products include print-on-demand custom waterproof maps, Internet-based map layers, digital map tiles for mobile devices and Terrain Navigator, a suite of mapping software products."
