I have shuffled through tons of maps and map website over the past several weeks. My question is, which map does everyone else carry on a DYI hunt that they cant do without.
What i come up with so far is onxmaps for my Gps and/or ipad. The onxmaps chip is pretty awesome as well as the app for ipad. but this doesnt allow me a handheld map to look at. they only come electronically.
The second thing i come up with is USGS web page where you can download and print of at home either aerial, aerial / topo combo or just plain topo. i did a trial run on this and downloaded a 7.5 min usgs map onto a usb drive and then took to a local print shop. i downloaded both the topo and the aerial maps. Decision is whether or not to print each of these maps for the whole unit and since i have never set foot in this unit. and i know the ones i dont buy will be the ones that i need.
3rd thing is Mytopo.com. i cant see a reason to pay for these maps right now when you can get the usgs. am i missing something?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
thks
