Lostoutdoors.com seems to be the best for us folk in the mountain west. Street maps don't really cut it, and I haven't found an on-line topo service worth the money. Really need detail, best is to go to your local NGS topo map dealer and by the quadrant you're needing. Lost Outdoors helps a lot, but you still have to get to Point A first!

Amen to rechargables. I bought some high-capacity ones at Radio Shack two years ago and they still perform well even under heavy usage (I use the same set for my GPS and my photo strobe).

Sheesh! Isn't there something better than MapQuest for location display? Don't know if anyone else has this problem, but when I click on the map and go to their page all the coordinates get screwed up! I know of some sites that might not want a gazillion hits on their limited servers, but there has to be something better that would serve Geocaching well.

It is a real shame that LostOutdoors is history. I used it for GPS'ing, but also to locate old forts, townsites and other historical relics here in southern Colorado. I will miss it.
Terraserver will help with GPS outings, and for that I'm greatful, but the resolution doesn't seem to be quite what LO was.
