I've used USA Photomaps for several years, and have always been impressed with it's functionality. I've recently started a project in Adak, Alaska, in the...
Sorry about that. I'll see if I can stretch the limit I set to include Adak. Doug Cox _________________________________ You wrote (Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:05:34...
I went to http://terraserver-usa.com/ and typed in Adak, AK in the Find box. Adak, AK isn't on TerraServer. So it can't be in USAPhotoMaps. I hope you're...
Thanks for looking Doug - I've seen some references to the Adak quad sheet, but maybe it not in general circulation. I remember going to the Smithsonian when...
Just wanted to post that I've had some success with USAPM in Linux under the WINE emulator. I have a mighty fine laptop from work that unfortunately had the...

A cheap gps. But it will only tell you the latitude and longitude of where it is, so you need to know latitude and longitude of the boundaries of your land...
... A GPS receiver will only be useful to you if you have a latitude and longitude. You are unlikely to find this in any of the land records. However, most...
A recreational grade GPS mapping is not a substitute for a professional survey. On a large parcel, a good GPS mapping may help you find existing markers such...
Hello All,  I Agree completely with Doug's answer as being a surveyor in the past, GPS does not give enough accuracy for land surveying. Like Jim said...
Is there any way to reduce the size of the pop-up when I display Track Data? It's about 2 1/2 by 4 inches. While I can move it, it still covers some of the...
No, sorry. It should only leave a 2 1/2 by 1/16 inch vestige if you move it to the bottom. Doug Cox _________________________________ You wrote (Wed, 22 Jul...

I really like the ability to add pictures to waypoints. Lets me confirm my memory. One thing that's somewhat bothersome is the fact if I inadvertently hover...

Hello all, I'm new to this group, but a long time user of USA Photomaps. I've used the program sucessfully with my old Magellan 315 and Sportrak Map. Recently...
I don't have a Garmin Colorado, but I think I found how to fix your problem (by reading the Colorado Owner's Manual and reading the relevent pages at...
Does anyone use USAPM with a GPS as a moving map display? I have always wanted to do that. I even have a bluetooth GPSr that I could use, but I've never...
I do all the time, sometimes daily. I use a USB gps hooked up to a XP laptop. Works great, I am looking to buy a net book for the very same reason. ...
From the GPS menu help file: /USAPhotoMaps can show position with a bluethooth connection to a GPS receiver, because all bluethooth GPS receivers emulate a...
... I'm curious, what do you use it for exactly? Have you ever used it for car navigation like a GPS? I have thought of doing that, but my laptop is a 17" and...
Thanks for the advice, but that is not my problem. Serial ports under Windows has gotten more and more complex so that any given program may or may not work...
... In addition to getting USAPM to use the COM port assigned to the Bluetooth serial port, don't forget to set the GPS to use NMEA protocol. I don't have a...
I work in a forestry/firefighting environment. If I get sent to a fire 200 miles from where I live to a place I have never been before I find out the general...
Wow! I bet Doug Cox is pretty proud of that! I'm glad that this program has found such an important use. I only wish we could get some more current maps. ...
I experience both the line corruption and X's problem frequently in Topo mode and occasionally in Photo mode. It's frankly maddening. I'm a long time...
It still seems to download fine on my small-resolution laptop computer (1280x800). I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft were making the download process less...

I'm not sure if I have seen the same problem as you or not. I sometimes see picture quads either not show up (X's) or other times corrupted data displaying...
