Semper Fi - 1775 |
National Geographic launched a free website to print Topo maps The folks at National Geographic just did a solid favor for all the adventurous outdoor photographers out there. They put every US Geological Survey (USGS) topographical map from across the United States on one easy-to-navigate site and made them easy to print out at home. ___________________________ All it takes...is all you got. ____________________________ For those who have fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | ||

Thanks for posting that link. Use TOPO's a lot and this will be a great help. ****************************************************W5SCM "We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution" - Abraham Lincoln "I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go" - Abraham Lincoln | |||

Very cool. I've been printing the USGS maps, but they're definitely not sized for standard paper. This will be way more awesome. | |||

The site must be overwhelmed. I can't get through. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

I was able to download a map of an old radar site (now returned to nature) and someday we may attempt to make a model of the site for a local museum. The topo map will be useful. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Thanks again for this notice. I had it on an old computer that died. Also, how often do these maps get updated? One for Flint still shows a factory that was demolished in 1992. Lord, your ocean is so very large and my divos are so very f****d-up Dirt Sailors Unite! | |||
