I am trying to make maps of multiple cemeteries  in which deceased local firefighters are interred. I sketched a map of the cemetery that I handle from google earth sat . I use the map to place flags for Memorial Day. It worked well because it was a late fall image - no leaf cover at the time. There are 4 other cemeteries that need to be mapped so the info can be passed on.
  I can make tracks,way points and put the data on base camp. But a sat map with an over lay is very user friendly because of the local characteristics.
  Any guidance?
I use an oregon 550

Thanks, Firefighter Keleher
