willoverton Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I do a little treasure hunting and while in the field of interest I record via GPS, markers, treasure signs, etc. and also write them down in notebook. I would like to be able to go home and put these markers on Topo map or older Plat map and then be able to draw lines from one marker to the next. Can NE 1 here recommend a GPS Mapping Program that would allow me to import Topo maps and then be able to mark points and draw lines on those maps in the program? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment

Thanks in advance Garmin MapSource or BaseCamp should work. You can probably do it in Google Earth too. Quote Link to comment
+northernpenguin Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 For scanning a paper Topo map and marking it up, you could use OziExplorer Quote Link to comment
