Maps?

[Waynee-ack]

I think this may have been covered before but I couldn't find the thread.

Does anyone have any good tips, places to get good topo maps, for states other than Utah. I have the National Geographic TOPO software for Utah but I hate purchasing individual maps for other states when I need them.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I've had the same problem when going out of Utah. I bought a subscription to the MyTopo MapPass service this summer and I've really liked it. $30 per year isn't too bad considering it covers the entire United States. Much like Topo!, it has a somewhat clunky interface but it outputs custom topo's, aerials and a very unique aerial/topo hybrid with ease. I usually export as an 11x17 PDF print them off like that, one side topo and one side topo/aerial hybrid.

I think we discussed it a bit in this thread too:

Thanks Nick, looks like that is exactly what I was looking for.

Oh, and if you just want to browse topos online, I highly recommend GMap4. Go to this link, zoom in and select the 't4 Topo High' layer.

If you're looking for paper maps, the DWR Bookstore west of the fairgrounds on North Temple is a great place to lighten your wallet.
