You can't beat Google Earth as far as being free and user friendly. That's for sure:D But if you do happen to have access to GIS for free anywhere it's an amazing tool. It's sure complicated to learn though.

I have access to GIS at work. Problem is, the imagery layers usually stop at the property boundaries for me. If they would extend to the USFS ground I would be ok, but GE is too quick and easy to lay out a plan and run.

Note: You can post places on GE in a folder, save the folder with the posts and export. With another free software program you can convert those to a .csv file, reformat, download another free application from Garmin and then load these placemarks to your Garmin for fast, quick easy reference... I only wish you could load lines and polygons into the Garmin for wilderness boundaries and the like.

Happy Trails!

Mule. Nope.

I am writing up a reliable process on this at work for our purposes. When I get it done I'll post it. Otherwise, it will potentially cause too much confusion here. Once in place, it actually works pretty slick.
