gps mapping online

Do you know where I can get maps with lattitude and longitude online for gps mapping?

You need a topographic map! If you can find a map store, they have them. I used to work at one called Dover Flag and Map in Racine, WI. If you really can’t find one you could try them and they ship. Also, you could get your state’s gazeteer. It’s an atlas of the state made up of topographic maps. However, if you get a just plain topo map (not from the gazeteer) it’s much more detailed because it’s of a much smaller area. Also, there are CDs from National Geographic that cover the entire state. They’re about $100 but it’s a lot cheaper than buying a bunch of topo maps ($13 a piece, thousands per state). With the CDs you can print out whatever sections you need. I guess depending on how big of an area you need and how often you would use the maps, I’d either go with a single topo map or the CD set.
