I am always playing with maps. And found this new to me site for US Photo Maps (link below). It is mainly topo and road maping software (free of course). It uses Microsoft TerraServer info and appears to be GPS friendly. I am looking at it for Intercoastal mapping but it should work very well for lake sailors. In addition to a gps map plotter, I have a gps usb feed for my laptop. If all this works it will be fun to see the boat on the water moving across the photo map. Gotta do something can't sail all the time. Happy Holidays.

Great freeware

I have been using this for mountain biking for years. It is nice to be able to see the topo at the same scale of a satellite photo. Photos are not as good as Google Earth but GE does not have topos. If you use it and like it, send Doug a donation. Tim R.
