FREE MAPS!

I don't know how many of you have ever seen this but.....

Libre Map Project
http://libremap.org/

The purpose of the Libre Map Project is to aggregate and make digital maps and related GIS data available for Free.

Available Data
24k scale USGS DRG's - detailed topographic maps for all 50 states.

SVG boundary border files for all US states (including state, county, and town boundaries)

TIGER/Line - All 2003 data is available.

GeoNames - All USGS place names are available for searching. The data can be used to find appropriate DRG's.

Oh man. I'm waaaaay more excited about this than I should be.

Looks like for Utah, all they have is the same data as these sites:

DRG Maps: http://nrwrt1.nr.state.ut.us/cgi-bin/quadview.exe?Startup
Place Name Search: http://www.topozone.com/viewmaps.asp?method=place

Except not as good.

But Utah is an exception to the rule. Most states you can't get the 7.5 minute maps except through retail partners. The images do need to be cropped, but the resolution from libremap is very good... You just have to do some work to crop and straighten. The TIFFs are nice though. :2thumbs:

Nice. This site is another resource.

http://www.miscjunk.org/mj/mp_uttopo.html

It has 1:24k topo maps that are uploadable for GPS. It's pretty sweet to have while out hiking- WAAAAYY better than the 1:100k garbage maps that Garmin puts out.

Here's another option.
Gmap4 can display topos (USA and Canada)
It can also display GPX, KML, KMZ, TPO and Google MyMap files

No link since this is only my 2nd post here

Did I mention Gmap4 runs online, has no ads and is free?
Nothing to buy, download or install.

Try the new GArmin 24K series..............way nice if you run Garmin GPSr
