Thanks guys. I'll check into some of these. I believe Sportsman's Warehouse sells the Hunt Data maps. I've looked at them and like them other than the fact that their Paunsaugunt map is split in half. East on one side, West on the other. Wouldn't be so bad but most of the stuff I want to concentrate on is in the center of the unit so you have to constantly flip back and forth. Maybe they can customize. I'll check out their website.

I use UStopomaps pro version cost a little money one time fee not designed specifically for hunting but great maps many different layers. You hold your finger on a spot on a map information will come up, elevation, late long, distance from your location to the point you marked. If you tap the box again it will give you more options, save as waypoint, share, go to point of location and even go to NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE and get weather info for that spot according to closes NWS reporting site it is pretty accurate.

You might just want to go to the source on topo maps....U.S.G.S. Most of the topo maps are available to just down load onto your computer. Nice to take a iPad and have them all loaded in.
BLM prints up Land Use maps and a lot of them have topo features. Very handy. I believe they cost around $5 each. Not a huge amount of detail, but a lot of info on them
I am old fashioned and like to have a printed map and a compass when I go out on foot. I may carry a GPS also, but it is always good to have a map and compass too.

Kind of old fashioned myself. Hate to rely too much on technology. Usually pack a GPS with me but looking more into hard copies right now. Like to be able to open it up and see the whole thing in one shot.
