    Where do you guys go to create a satellite Map for hunting lease property?

    I am trying to find a FREE website where I can punch in the coordinates (Latitude-Longitude) for our lease and pin point notable sites such as camp, boundaries, stand locations, etc.

    I have all the sites bookmarked on my iPhone MAPS but I want to be able to put them all on one page then have one BIG POSTER made where the lease members can view while at camp.

    The best site I have found for great aerial views is the Google site below. You can really get down and pin point specific locations there but it won't let you drop multiple pins?

    http://www.findlatitudeandlongitude.com/

    What do you guys do?

    I've always used Google Earth in the past. Haven't done one in a few years, so there may be something newer and better, but its done for me what you're looking for.

      Quickly order USGS Topographic Maps, MGRS maps, 1:50000/1:25,000, Aerial Maps, Game Management Unit Maps for hunting, and maps for popular hiking trails. View our vast collection of historical USGS topos and national park maps. Order Delorme Gazetteers, Falcon Guidebooks. Call 877-587-9004 with any questions.

        For a great satellite map that's worth the money, mytopo.com.

        You can go into their web site, create the map with whatever scale and location you want, add contour intervals to the satellite, add lat/long or UTM grid and then do a map preview.

        The first time it comes up small, click on it and it gets enormous. Right click and save the jpg file and then print it on 11x17 paper, or pasted into 11x17 PowerPoint document and put 1/4 on each slide, and then tape together. The resolution will not be as good as if you bought it.

        But the mytopo maps laminated with the plastic on them and rolled (not folded) so you can thumbtack up are fantastic.

          I use Google Earth.

          Printed a color copy and then took it to FedEx Print Shop and had it enlarged (18x24) and then laminated it.

            I marked all of my stands on Google Earth, cropped a picture and saved a copy. I then emailed it to myself and saved it to my IPhone. Now I have a copy with me all the time. I even marked the prevailing wind direction in relation to all my stands.

              I'm looking at the site now...trying to navigate it?

                I may try this route...I have a company laptop that won't let me download Google Earth w/o administrator privileges though. and I want to be able to do most of my work on it.

                Guess I can just use my wife's PC at home and set it up....just a pain.

                  I've done multiple maps on my topo.com so I'm used to it but its a little tricky.

                  Let me know if you get stuck. If need be if you send me coordinates I can make several maps, download and email to you. I really enjoy mapping and that kind of work.

                      There may be a high demand for this. Time to be an entrepreneur
