Perhaps this should be posted in the "GPS and Technology" thread............

www.memory-map.com gives details of US Topo maps for all the US states

 

I purchased the California Topo directly from memory-map.com and have used it in the same way as memory-map for the UK.

How good are the US maps compared to our own beloved OS ones?

Free MM maps for all of the USA can be found here.

The Memory-Map USA State maps include 3 scales: 1:24,000, 1:100,000 & 1:250,000.

 

So the largest scale is similar to the OS explorer (1:25,000) series.

 

I found them very useful for hiking and caching during our California holiday and will be buying the relevant State for our next trip. (Once the exchange rate settles down!)

Thanks for that. The detail is at a very low level, but it's handy to get an overview of a large area.

I’m in Florida at present and have been using the free maps, they don’t have a lot of detail but there is enough to give you an idea where the cache is. I’ve also been using MS Streets and Trips which also helps.

I'll look out for you tomorrow. I'll be trying out Topo US 2008.
