New Alaska and Hawaii Maps

MYTOPO.COM NOW OFFERS OPTION TO CUSTOM CENTER TOPO MAPS IN ALASKA AND HAWAII

Red Lodge, MT – MyTopo.com has added the option for its customers to make navigation-ready, waterproof topographic maps centered in Alaska and Hawaii, the company announced today.  MyTopo.com now offers topo maps for the entire United States. 

“With today’s announcement, anyone can order a large-format waterproof topo map for any place in the United States from the comfort of their own home or office and have it shipped to their doorstep within 24 hours,” said Kevin Toohill, founder of MyTopo.com.  “We are pleased to be able to serve our customers who are needing high quality paper maps for Alaska or Hawaii.”

The maps in Alaska are based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) 1:63,360 scale, known as the 15-minute USGS series.  The Hawaii topo maps are based on the 1:24,000 scales, known as the 7.5 minute USGS series.    MyTopo.com’s database now includes maps for both states in their entirety.  Previously, the company offered topo maps for a limited area in Alaska.

“We get the most requests for maps of Alaska, particularly this time of year,” said Toohill.  “Alaska is one of the premier places in the United States for big game hunting, and we are pleased to be able to provide our durable, waterproof maps to those fortunate hunters who are set to embark on the experience of a lifetime in the backcountry of this beautiful and unspoiled landscape.”
