Which one do you consider to be.

#1. The best
#2. The most user friendly
#3. as Free as Google Earth

You can't beat Google Earth as far as being free and user friendly. That's for sure 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.
