 One of my colleagues has found a really slick-looking GIS interface.
Don't know if it will work (i.e., download) to GPS units, but for combining
satellite imagery with mapping capabilities, it looks great.  So of course
I'm wondering if there are others out there who are using it and checking
for accuracy.  Software is at:
http://www.earthviewer.com/earthviewer/nvidia.html .  We have downloaded a
trial version, considering using it for our Galveston Bay Information
Center.  Its application for folks like me who seem to be fated to find all
mapping anomalies on paddling expeditions, looks like truth in mapping.
What say you?

 I'm doing a local kayak exploratory trip on Saturday, will see what I can
do with downloading from trial version and checking against actual
conditions although of course we all know wind and weather and tide all
affect marshland paddleability.

 I have no financial interests in Earthviewer or associated companies, only
wish to reduce downtime due to "lost in the swamps".
