December 3, 200421 yr This may be well known to some, but it was new to me:From today's Scout Report:USAPhotoMaps 2.49http://www.jdmcox.com/Designed for those who have a need for maps from the United StatesGeological Survey, this helpful application will be of general nterest to numerous other parties as well. With this program, visitors can download aerial photographs and topographic maps from Microsoft's Terraserver website. After completing this step, visitors can scroll through the maps, mark waypoints, and center the map on any particular waypoint. This version of USAPhotoMaps is compatible with operating systems running Windows 98 and higher. [KMG]According to the website,USAPhotoMaps downloads aerial photo and topo map data from Microsoft's free TerraServer Web site, saves it on your hard drive, and creates seamless maps from it. You can: - Scroll and zoom - See the latitude/longitude - Add waypoints, routes, and text - Jump to any waypoint or latitude/longitude in the U.S.A. - Transfer waypoints, tracks, and routes to and from most GPS receivers - See your GPS location - And much more.
