Free Maps and Mapping Resources
Here you will find some great links to Maps and Mapping resources on the World Wide Web.
Note: While EZ Outdoor Systems provides these links as examples of the wealth of freely available maps and data to our customers, the data on these sites is exported in a variety of formats. Some of these formats may not be accessible with conventional GPS mapping software such as Fugawi. For these data types, a conventional GIS (Global Information Systems) software package may be necessary to view and convert the data to Fugawi compatible maps. GIS Software solutions such as Manifold, ESRI, MapInfo, and the free Open-Source GRASS are available for those wishing to expand their mapping capabilities. System requirements may apply.
