Scouting Maps

Unread postby CJM » Wed Jun 25, 2014 5:11 am

Hey guys, just wondering what are some of your favorite sites to check out/ scout maps? I've been using google earth but unless i havent figured it out it doesnt have TOPO, and as far as I can tell you cant screenshot an edited map on CalTopo. Is there a do all end all site out there?

Thanks
Cody

I am using caltopo or acme mapper.

Caltopo has a good functions that acme mapper does not have.

Either way take a screen shot and paste it in paint exe. Then save it as a jpg.

Reopen the file you just saved in paint, then you can draw on it all you want.

you can save them pretty easily in caltopo. I think you need to login to the site using your google or yahoo id. And then click your maps and create one first.

If you are using anything passed windows XP (i hope you are because it's EOL). Use the snipping tool. Start run -> snip should pull it up.
