I am with Alvena. I like topo maps too. No GPS! Please let us know how to download. Thanks Posted: Oct 17, 2009 Ron
Your "Editor's Note" (Nov 2009) was a real winner. I am jealous of other people who live in places other than a flat plain as I do. One queston about Google Earth. When I zoom in at a certain point all becomes out of focus and blured. I can't seem to rectify this situation. Posted: Oct 08, 2009 Andydog
I don't have a GPS and don't plan on getting one - I still like using a Topo map. How can I access topo maps of potential hiking/backpacking areas without GPS coordinates?? Posted: Sep 30, 2009 Alvena
