RE: topo maps online?
 

Unfortunately I do not yet have a GPS, but will rectify that before next fall.

Go to www.jdmcox.com and download USAPhotomaps. That program is excellent for getting topos and aerial photos from the Microsoft terraserver data base, but it saves the files to your hard drive. It works great with a GPS. You can print maps with gridlines, show waypoints on the map, do routes, etc.

You can type in any city and state to see topo and aerial maps. The topo maps are available in large scale to allow you to zoom in very close to your area. You can purchase laminated copies from this site OR you can just print them off and laminate them yourself like I do, haha. They're not as nice as if you bought them, but it works for me.Aerial maps are great quality too. This is the only site I go to for aerial and topo maps.
