A high quality topographic map can help save your life. But they're expensive. Here's an option you can consider.

Gmap4 is a 100% free no-ads no-strings enhanced Google Map viewer. Since it runs online there is nothing to download, nothing to install.

Main features include:

* View detailed topographic maps (USA and Canada).

* Current magnetic declination displayed for map center (world wide, NOAA)

* Print maps. In your browser menu, click File==>Print Preview.

* Powerful search feature. You can search on addresses, names of places or natural features, and any reasonable way to write a latitude/longitude. (world wide)

* Display your GPS data and create a permanent link that will display that same map and your data. You can e-mail that link, post it on a website, include it in an iframe, etc.

The link below will display a world map. To search for something click Menu==>Search. To see the detailed topographic maps (USA & Canada) zoom in and then click Terrain==>MyTopo.

Here is the Gmap4 homepage where you will find examples, links to reviews and sites using Gmap4 to display interactive maps, a detailed Help file and a bit about me.

Wow! That's pretty cool. I'm going to have to explore that some more when I have time and a printer. Good job.

http://mapper.acme.com/ has been available for years, circa 2006

AcmeMapper is a good program. It was written by a guy named Jeff. About a year ago I told Jeff that the topo maps from the MyTopo Company were much better quality than the topomaps from Terraservr that he was displaying. He checked it out and agreed and switched to the MyTopo maps.

AcmeMapper does not let you display your GPS data.

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for sharing your work. Great stuff.

Really like your site Joseph! I do wish UTM coordinates could be shown ; )

Great work Joseph, thank you! Any plans to 1) show data in UTM and 2) overlay a UTM grid?

I must be getting old. I can't seem to find the download link on your web page. Your application looks terrific. I'm looking forward to testing it in detail. THanks again for sharing your work.

i like it!

Very Nice, I will use this. Mike
