Does anyone use a mapping software to keep track of their hunts and scouting?
If so what kind and why?

Garmin Basecamp because I integrate it woth my Garmin GPS.  I also use Google Earth extensively.

Sent you a pm for one Living_waters

Terrain Navigator.
10 miles from the trailhead and not seeing a trail for 4 miles.
I like to know where I am  

I use the cabelas recon hunt for the iPhone, u can go on a computer and download nice looking spots to the program.  Best thing it cost about five dollars

goggle earth isn't up to date on most of their maps, any where from 1 to 3 year old photos on their pix of earth..

I have tried a mapping gps and phone software, but here is the sad truth I have almost perfect far vision but my up close vision stinks, so the small screens are useless with out my glasses.
I use an etrex because mark and goto is basically all I use. Have copied waypoints by hand to paper maps and printed google maps for several years. I can make them big enough to read. But they all end up in the trash eventually.
Looking to create some detailed maps on    Adventure Paper   and save them on my computer.

Might take a look at ARCGis. Very detailed and you can layer over with topo, vegetation, water sources, etc.

Thanks guys....... havent got much done today but play with mapping software
