+Criminal Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 I get my maps from REI. They have some great TOPOs for the areas I like to cache. Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Try the mapmaker at Lost Outdoors or do a cache search for a set of coordinates and then click on the results screen. Quote Link to comment

If you need a topo map, http://www.topozone.com or http://www.lostoutdoors.com If you need a road map, http://www.randmcnally.com If you want a GC.com map, http://www.geocaching.com/map/getmap.aspx?...&lon=YYY.YYYYYY Where XXX and YYY are your coordinates in degree decimal and S/W is negative.

Did you get this backwards? It seems to me that north and east are postitive. At least it works that way for me. Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny or not...but, if N and E are positive, then S and W are negative...neither of us has it backwards... Quote Link to comment

Made perfect sense to me the way it was written.....I had to go back and double check to make sure juggler hadn't edited the original post, and nope, he hadn't...... Quote Link to comment
