    Oh, I already have them on my Garmin Oregon and, of course, Basecamp software on my computer. But it requires actual work to print them out.

    Not to mention, Basecamp is a hog and my laptop is in serious need of TLC (ie., work).

    I'd rather ride/fish/run/anything else.

    Interestingly, our REI still does have a small selection. Maybe we still have enough Luddites in town to require it.

    Paper maps do not require a power source. Although I admit I down load and print at work - when I need topo maps, it's for work anyway. And at work I have access to a variety of paper sizes - up to monster huge.

    Figured I'd actually really link to the USGS ones now, free downloads.

    The USGS Store

    We use these for work, and unfortunately I do occasionally have to piece them together because of how our reports are formatted! There are some brand new ones on here that are fun since you can turn various layers on and off in the adobe files.

    Cool, will check out the website. We do have a local outdoor store and a map store that both offer Topo's and they have those amazing printers... When our son was a senior in High School he seemed to be challenged with finding his way home so we gave him a topo map of Boise for Christmas with our house's location circled - he didn't think it was funny but the DH and I still laugh about it.
