Hello Friends - I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I recently downloaded Eastern Public Land Owners Map for use on MapSource. My version of MapSource is 6.16.3. I also have TOPO US 2008 and Inland Lakes 2009 installed for use on MapSource.
I can use the Eastern Public Land Owners Map, but lose all other map features (like roads & lakes). I'd like to see both.
My question is if anyone knows how I can use the Eastern Public Land Owners Map as an overlay on top of either my TOPO US or Inland Lakes maps. I don't even know if this is possible either on my computer or my GPS. (GPS is an Etrex which I have put maps on already)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Ron
You can only view one map product at a time in MapSource or BaseCamp, but you should be able to view the transparent public land map and another underlying non-transparent map on your GPSr. That said, I understand that Inland Lakes is a little different from the land based maps, so try a land based map first.
Techinically, Eastern (and Western) Public lands ownership are not transparent maps. They use a typ file to make them work like a transparent map. They will shade (50% of the pixiils) any other map to show land ownership. They woork great with other maps.
Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it.
