    Hoping to find a company that can do a printed map as written in the title.

    I think MyTopo can do everything except import KLM/KMZ points and HUNTERRA prints a great map, they can import your data but they don't do Military Grid Reference System overlay.

    Anyone know of a company that can do it all?

    This is for a club sign-out board.

    Thanks,

    Bob

    The following link displays the Google aerial and a 100m MGRS/USNG grid. Zoom in more and the grid goes to 10m. If there is cell service where the club hunts then the map will open on cell phones and display a touch friendly interface. You will recognize where the map is centered.

    The map is displayed by Gmap4 which is an enhanced Google map viewer that I developed. Anyone can use Gmap4 for any non-commercial purpose. I maintain this project as a volunteer public service and part of my way to "pay it forward".

    You can do limited printing through your browser. Firefox ==> Print preview.

    If you put your KML/KMZ file online, Gmap4 can display it.

    Finally, if the boundary data you want to display is available on a public-facing ArcGIS server, then Gmap4 can display it.

    The Gmap4 homepage has lots of examples and help info:

    Finally, I caution everyone about GIS boundary data. Some of it is good, some terrible and a lot is in between those extremes. I often overlay survey data for a specific parcel on top of GIS boundary data and I can see the differences.
