    What site do you guys use to get your topo maps of the property you hunt?is it google earth? Just wondering because I don't think my google earth maps look as good as all of yours do

    everyone is different but i am a google earth fan. when you learn how to use it you will be amazed how it shows the terain. you can fly across the ground just like a bird.

    I use ACME mapper as well but bing maps has a birdseye view which shows quite a bit more detail.

    i've looked at a couple different sites, free ones anyhow, and they are decent but all older views. my land and some of the land around has been pulped and or clear cut, so the ones i can see are not what it actually looks like. i'm not really good on a computer, so i may be doing something wrong, but i pretty sure i'd need to be paying to see current maps

    Bing maps for me too. In my area images are more up to date than google and were taken in the winter.

    I think they all have their advantages and disadvantages. I use all three (google, bing, Acme) depending on what I am looking at.
