Thread: What

I figured Tinkie Winkie was your favorite or maybe Po. Topo is so lame, but I can see the attraction for you with the purse and all.

Have you seen Gmap4?

Here is a high resolution topo map centered on Greenwood, MS:

http://www.mappingsupport.com/p/gmap...5&hillshade=18

Full disclosure time: I am the developer of the Gmap4 software that is showing you the map. This project is part of my way to “pay it forward”. Translation: Gmap4 is free for non-commercial use. It is popular with people that enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities.

Gmap4 is a browser app, not a native app. Gmap4 runs in most browsers on most devices from smartphones to desktops. Note that the browser does have to be online. When Gmap4 is running in the browser on a smartphone it automatically uses a phone-friendly ‘scroll’ interface. (If your phone does not like the scroll menu then touch Menu ==> Button Interface.)

The button in the very upper right corner lets you change map types. In addition to topos for the USA, you can also look at vector topos for all of Canada. The Menu button gives access to various features. A rightclick will show some useful info.

You can click the map and save your work as a GPX file. Menu ==> Draw and Save.

You can display existing files. GPX, TPO, KML, KMZ, Google MyPlaces, and a delimited file format I designed.

I enjoy looking at topo maps and one of the main reasons I wrote Gmap4 was to make it easy for people to include map links when they post in forums like this one. Here is the recipe for making a link that will start Gmap4 and display a map:

1. Simply use zoom/pan or Menu==>Search to find the area you want to see when the map opens.
2. Click the button in the upper right corner and select “t4 Topo High” or one of the other choices. Also adjust the zoom to your liking (mouse wheel or sliding control in upper left corner).
3. Click Menu ==> "Link to this map". The link that is displayed will reproduce the same map you see on your screen.

These Gmap4 links can be used in forum posts, emails, blogs, websites, etc.

The Gmap4 homepage has a FAQ, examples, quick start info (in the Help file) and more to quickly get you up to speed.

Some forums are allowing Gmap4 to run as an embedded map. See for example:

Thanks Jelf, lots of detail. Not bad for a first post, see you have been a member for a while looks like you need to be posting more. Welcome from MS!!

VERY NICE. I like that. I've been using the DEQ website here. http://geology.deq.ms.gov/floodmaps/Viewer/nfhl.aspx Shows floodplains and links to Bing Images. They're stretched though so the distances aren't accurate.
