Hunting: GPS (Global Positioning), Navigation, Mapping, & Online Maps

Maptech's Pocket Navigator lets you view your position in real time, on a topo map or chart! Uses a Pocket PC to do so. This nifty product takes GPS use in the woods to a new level.

A look at what aerial images can help you do.

GPS (Global Positioning System): How it can help you in the field.

Brunton makes "optical instruments, advanced professional and sporting compasses, and outdoor metering instruments."

Garmin is one of the best there is in the field of GPS receivers.

Interesting collection of articles and product reviews.

Magellan makes several different models of GPS units.

They say: "This is a Web site of hunting data displayed in map form. Data from wildlife agencies, natural resources departments, etc. have been used to produce the maps. Our site combines all the data in a quick reference map format for easy viewing. Our intent is to provide data in a friendly format that's easier to use, less expensive (and much more informative) than a typical harvest report."

This looks like some awesome software... includes scans of USGS topo maps, and lets you view them in 2D or 3D. The 3D is awesome, it lets you spin & tilt an area of a map in 3D - and as a longtime map-lover, this gives me a thrill! There's nothing like seeing the topography in full relief.

This site "offers large-format, waterproof topo maps that you design and order via the web." They say that "hunters like our maps because they can center their hunting camp on the map, choose the map’s scale and grid lines, give the map a title and have their name printed on it."

This will take you to a thorough Global Positioning System overview, designed to educate and inform.

This map server is pretty cool!

They say this "is the Web's center for professional and recreational map users." Also, "the Web's best source for custom digital topographic data for Web, GIS, and CAD applications, and our Web Services system can add our maps directly to your desktop or server." They also say they have "every USGS topographic map, orthophotomap, and aerial photograph in the entire United States."

All the national mapping info you could ever need.
