Wow, cool!

I've got the orange book - been drooling over some of those routes, although I don't have much idea about the fishing...

Thanks for the info. I also have looked at National Geographic's topo charts at National Geographic Maps | Outdoor Recreation Maps.

David at Barrier Island Kayak also gave me the following link for topo's, but I haven't looked at it yet. May be worth checking out.
The National Map Seamless Server

You can also order the high $ waterproof paper like most charts are printed on.

Good info nraycroft, thanks for the link (I deleted the posts about the link edit as all is fixed now)

Let me add my 2 cents worth. That's a great site and the books are very useful too. I also use the NC Topo map books and Google Earth. You can edit a sat photo on Google Earth use the placemark under the ADD pulldown menu to mark the put-in and mile marks along the route. Use the RULER function under the tool menu to measure the route. Once all that is done and the map shows the route (or portions of it) you can copy the photo using the copy function under the EDIT pull down menu. Then it can be placed on a photo card or in a file on your computer. Either can be printed, protected in a plastic bag, and used to monitor your progress on a float or go to interesting fishing areas not otherwise visable. I inserted one I did for an upcoming trip.

Thank you, Major. I fool around with Google Earth often, but seem to learn something new every time. Thanks again.
