Maps: The
following are two mapping software packages that have
USGS mapping base for street, terrain and satellite
views. You can print your detailed route maps and
interface with GPS devices. Cost $$, but if you have use
for topo maps for paddling, hiking etc., as I do, they
are well worth the money.

Google Maps, that have street, terrain, and satellite
views. |
