topo maps

[surfrod]

Not sure how many of you use them. I have and used to have a printed set of "my favorites"... now long gone after a move a few years ago.

Was going to order a printed map again, and found that there are (well I knew about one of them prior) several options for viewing online

http://www.mytopo.com/ is a service to order printed maps, but once you "construct" your topo, it gives you the option to proof your map..essentially it's a map server and gives a very good jpg topo of the area / detail, you selected.

http://mapserver.mytopo.com/homepage/index.cfm is another option, as is maptech's : http://maptech.mytopo.com/onlinemaps/index.cfm

Happy treking.
