I’d like to know what map websites you are all usings to find your fishing places and why you use them?

At times there is a street view where you can search and virtually "drive" along a road to search for parking places as well as seeing posted signs or not.
I wouldn't be so sure about that, especially with substations and especially the way liability is exploited.kb3lms wrote:
Also, there is some land owned by utilities and such that probably don't care too much if you fish (especially on a weekend) and stay well away from their works. For instance, along an access road to an otherwise landlocked piece of property where the substation, etc, is located.
I use this app as well. The $10 is what gives you the extra detail. I love it on the remote streams for the reason you mention. Wouldn't be without it!Swattie87 wrote:
On my phone in the field I use Topo Maps+ ($10). Big advantage is I can download and store map tiles in advance for when I don't have cell service and am just using the GPS signal to navigate.

The Fishing Pennsylvania looks interesting, although there isn't a trial shown and I'm not too keen on $10 for an app where i don't know what I'm getting. OnX Hunt works OK and identifies most of the public land in my area (even some of the obscure ones) which makes me think it might be trustworthy but it likewise gets a little expensive. I decided to wait a little closer to April and see if I still wanted to spend money for it. OnX Hunt has essentially nothing in it for fishing though. It would be nice to add the PFBC layers for Class A's for example. You can do all this on Google Earth, although it is essentially non portable.

I like AcmeMapper.com.
Highly recommended by Wily Coyote.
Seriously, though, give it a try. It has road map, satellite imagery, and topo maps.
