Automatically Add USGS Topo Map Command

ExpertGPS has a seamless topo basemap, which includes collarless USGS topo maps for the entire United States. But there are times when you may want to view your data over a specific, historical USGS topo map. The Automatically Add USGS Topo Map command is perfect for those doing research on abandoned railroad lines, or for anyone interested in how the maps of their area have evolved over the decades.

To add a pre-calibrated, high-resolution scan of a USGS topographical map to your Scanned Map Library in ExpertGPS, first recenter the map to your area of interest. Then, click Automatically Add a USGS Topo Map on the Map menu, under Scanned Paper Maps and Digital Charts.

The Select Map dialog will appear. Select the edition of the USGS topo map you want to add to ExpertGPS. ExpertGPS will automatically download and calibrate the selected map for you to use.

ExpertGPS works with hundreds of GPS receivers, including all Garmin Drive, nüvi, eTrex, Colorado, Dakota, echoMAP, GPSMAP, Edge, Forerunner, Montana, Oregon, and Rino models, Magellan eXplorist GPS receivers, and Lowrance HDS, Elite, and HOOK GPS chartplotters and fishfinders. Download ExpertGPS
