Hey Guys, I see mtbyak used Mapquest to post a location earlier. Someone showed me the google Maps (http://maps.google.com) today and I was blown away.

Check out this link and then put your mouse on the map and move it around or click on the navigation arrows.

You can also put in another location and it will plot a route for you. This system blows Mapquest away.

I see my house. Then I went to where I hunt and I see the field and the Big rock in the field. That's if you click on the satelite and zoom in. Great.

In my own town, I put in my address and it took me to 20 NE 9th St instead of 20 NE 9th Ave. It would not acknowledge the correct address I was entering and there was no way it would take me to where I requested. Therefore, I think it sucks. If it won't even recognize where I know I live, I am certainly not going to trust it to take me where I have never been.

I use Microsoft's Streets and Trips, I've had it in four versions since 2000 and its the best travel planner I've used.

Partikle, those satelite maps are neat! Thanks for the link.

I use a program at work called Accumap. I get high res aerial photos of Alberta and Sask. I can then print it on a plotter that prints up to 36 inches wide. It is SO handy for hunting/fishing. I can zoom into my house and see the lawn chairs on my deck clearly. If your in the area and want a map, let me know.

Thanks Partikle! I saw my house, sheds in the back yard, cars in the driveway, etc. Neat!

Showed my spot no problem, shows the woods and all. Could not zoom in to show my drive way though....

Zoom in real close and you'll see that big buck that you missed last year.
