Hi Larry,
I use http://www.topozone.com quite a bit. After I've located my general
area, I usually select the features 1:25000 and LARGE at the top of the
map. At the bottom you can choose to display UTM coordinates, decimal
degrees or deg/min/sec. I usually use the latter. At the bottom of

With so many map enthusiasts raising their heads to answer this question,
now might be a good time to mention a New Yahoo Group for Map Enthusiasts -
'Radio Map Users'.
Though primarily created for users of the Global Overlay Mapping system,
this group also discusses any other aspects of Maps and

have not nearly been accessible over the years, as Mt. Athos. And, still are

Many thanks all the input folks - this was interesting.
Using the TopoZone web site provided by Jack, I

Belmont, NC where I live. The map showed Belmont
Jr. High instead of Belmont High School so the map
was as recent as 23 years. Clicking the
