New product opinions needed

[Manfred]

I hope it's OK to ask this here. I'm working on a new product and I would like hunter inputregarding it'sfeatures and if you would use something like it. I'm planning on being able to provide to hunters at a reasonable cost up-to-date ( 1 year old or less) color satellite images with 2.5 meter resolution of whatever location they choose. The image would also have elevation contour lines like a topo map. You would be able to get the high resolution image on CD or printed outas a poster (around 3X4 feet). There would also be the option of subscribing to a website andhave access to the images without theelevation lines at low resolution (PC screen resolution).Any feed back would be appreciated. I'm also working on being able to generate3D images from the Satellite images.

Thanks in advance

A smaller area map that could be put in a pocket would be nice for scouting .
I would like to see overlaping maps that cover like 1 square mile or less.
like 18" x 18" or 24" x 24"
Water proof or close and tear proof , I hunt some nasty cover.
Be stiff enough to be held in 1 hand
Be nice if a dry erase marker would work and be semi perminant but removeable

If on a CD ,compatible to down load info to a common GPS . Garmin is my current GPS.
I will spend a few $$ more for a better product , but face it most of us are cheap.


I will keep thinking .
I like your idea of 2.5 meter resolution just wish it was 1 meter.

Do you have any experience with ArcView? It has some really nice features, but it is prohibitively expensive for private use.
