Default Great mapping site for those who like to "Map Scout!!"

Picked this up on Bowsite from a guy that recommends it for the great detail topo and aerial photo wise, and he's right, it is a GREAT site.....

I think it depends on what you're looking for, Acme has topo, terrain, aerial, road, etc, whereas MSN doesn't have the topo or terrain, which is more what I'm specifically looking for. Also zoomed in on my house, I get a better view from Acme that I do MSN, I also get a better zoom on the area I'm intending on elk hunting than I do with MSN. The TOPO and Terrain maps are what I kind the most useful for me personally though, and it's has pretty good detail vs. most mapping programs I've used.

I don't know Tony, I'm pretty impressed with the Acme Mapper, with the aerial, topo, terrain and hybrid views, it's hands down the best I've toyed with, and its much quicker to navigate than anything else I've tried to use.
