Map Making Support / Re: Historical Topo’s

Thanks for the Info guys!

I tried Google Earth and it wasn't too bad with a cropped piece (1 x 3 miles) of the quad but I can see that it would be a real PITA if I used a bigger piece.  I had to stretch and tilt to try and match up the features and I was dealing with a quad from 1903 so it could have been off just a tad.  Using the historical image from Google Earth helped allot because it was in black and white and easier to see landmarks.  It would probably be easier if Google earth was on terrain but I don't know if it can do that or haven't figured it out...I'm new at this! ;D

I'll load the overlay tomorow and see how it works.

Thanks again!

Map Making Support / Historical Topo’s

Hi folks,

Is there a way to get a historical topo loaded into a Garmin Oregon 450?  I downloaded some historical topo jpeg's from MyTopo and would like to be able to use them in my Garmin 450 for exploring old railroads and towns.  I haven't had any luck searching the subject so I figured I'd post the question.

Thanks
Jeff
