That's a nice map. Lately I haven't had much luck finding good maps
on the net - coastal, highway, you name it.
Might probably be my brain just isn't working right.
Do you - or anyone else - have favorite sites for maps.
Might be good to post the links. Yeah, it's me asking, but everybody
might benefit. I'll sure bookmark them, and I never lose bookmarks.

Screen cap from microsoft streets and trips.
Software program on my computer.

That's it then. I like that map, and assume Streets allows a measure
of zooming in/out to scale it to the area I'm interested in.
Is that right?

Yup. Stay away from the DeLorme package. It has a horrible interface.

If you take the time to learn it you'll probably like it. I've been
using it for years, actually used it to scout areas in Florida long
before we went house hunting there.

Any comparisons between the two? I'm about to snipe an Ebay Streets
and Trips, but might stay and get the Delorme too.

I've never used Streets and Trips. It may be a great package but
Delorme Street Atlas has always done everything I've needed. You can
also get it packaged with a nifty little USB GPS unit which I use with
my nav software on the boat.

I use both for the simple reason that both packages have errors. In my
experience the errors are most prevalent in newly developed areas. Streets
may be missing, incorrectly named or located in the wrong place.

I find both packages interface about equal. They both have their quirks
that just take time to learn, as Wayne pointed out.
