I found it pretty useful, especially if you have coords. I haven't looked at much of the rest of it yet. Maybe you know something I don't bacpac.

Whatever you do, DO NOT use the website I linked to. Experts have concluded it sucks and I spoke too soon in telling you to go to it. I retract my offer to check it out, lol.

Well I went back and took a 2nd look after your post last nite Nowslim, and got about 3 "under construction" pages in a row!! Ahh well, it's not the first time I spoke too soon. I'll end up breaking down and actually buying a topo program instead of trying to get by on the cheap.

For topo maps I have MapTech's Terrain Navigator.

They have a special price on their National Park and AT map packages. Either one for $50.00.

They have super regions for other parts of the country. You have to pick a particular geographic area.

I did a quick search and saw the map, its just a simple aerial photo, download USA photomaps, and Use Terraserver to get the coords. Its a lot eaiser and quicker, and you can get topo maps. http://jdmcox.com/. I learned about that program from a thread on this site a while back, can't remember who posted it though.
