I like all that stuff, but a program that lets the gps and the map work together is the ticket.

The one I use is a National Geographic one. Could be better but it's pretty good. One use is with a lap top traveling from one public ground to another scouting. Lock things in, build maps, add notes, add pictures, store it away and pull it out when ever.

One public ground I've hunted I scouted out using google maps as well. Thing was when I traveled the roads around the ground I saw where other hunters had parked and entered. Got a love it. It's not close to home and large. It would be costly to get that info and a whole lot less comfortable if I had to drive it. You could almost see where they went to hunt. I take the info, find it in my program and build a map, dump it in my gps and I'm good to go. I don't even have to set foot on the property before I know where to hunt it. I can also use those other hunters to push deer to me knowing where they enter and travel all from multiple miles away.
