Each time I assemble a custom Sat/Topo map at mytopo I am so discouraged by the apparent resolution of the sattelite imagery I am going to get, I bail on the project altogether. When I compare it to Google Earth imagery, it seems so inferior–can someone tell me otherwise? Is what you get better than it looks on the screen? Is there another, better way to get a Sat/Topo paper map.
I have good gps equipment, garmin maps, National Geographic software, hundreds of 7.5's, etc
My wife and I climb and hike cross-country in the Shuteye Ridge area of Sierra National Forest in California, and there are few trails and many terrain obstacles. A decent map would be invaluable.
Any suggestions appreciated.
