A guy in my SAR team turned me on to a company online that scales the map to your printer. Ok, let me explain; the name of the companyt is called maptech.com (I have no affiliation with them, other than using them for SAR), and they have scanned every topo map available in the US into a DB. Now, normally, when you print a topo out, it isnt to correct scale. Unless, of course, you fiddle with the printer properties. Well, this program will print out the topo to the exact scale thats on the map. So, you can pull it off your printer, & take it right into the field. Again, I have only used them with SAR, and they worked great. I am heistant about forking over $100 for a program right now. So, this may wait, for me anyway, for a while.
