I got no idea what it is, nor how to use it, but it's sure looks pretty cool. Tell ya what, you figure it out and let me know how to use it, seeing as how I found it for ya.

I feel just like a cat that catches a mouse and leaves it on the door step.

this just a bunch of identical maps of the same location you can view in numerous mapping programs. I believe the mark to be a ramp location. You can click on google maps and see the topo or click on google satellite and see the satellite view of the lake. Or you can use GPS visualizer and use the draw map feature. Some people prefer different map viewing programs over others, so I guess this is about sharing mapping of the same area with various mappers.

Geocatching is all about points on the map. Kinda like the red teardrops on any googled up location.


I like using google earth (satellite view) for overlaying and calibrating my own maps. It is pretty easy to do.

well there isnt much that intiminates me, but this map link just did it! has anyone ever figured out how we can get a up to date pic off the google maps? i look up something and its 1 year or so old. how do we get the topos for the lakes from it, any ideas?

type in location in the address line in google earth. Or try lat, long in the location box. This is a good tool.

I wish I could attatch KLM files, but it it in not accepted on c.com. Here is a pic of the overlay of my map on Google.

Ummm....yeah, that's what I was gonna say about it.

Actually, I found it somewhat helpful for my home lake. Since they draws down and up throughout the year, the different links have different satelite pics of the same location taken on different dates. So, Google Earthe may have been taken at full pool and another at mid pool and another at low pool. Just thought it was neat to have a bunch of sources gathered on one page.

Found that by doing a Wikipedia Search for my lake then taking the lat and lon link in the info box. Sure it's available for most all lakes of any size though.
