I know that I dearly miss the French IGN. It’s close to impossible to find decent paper map for hiking in the US.

- alistairSH 6y agoI've found the Nat Geo waterproof maps to be quite good. Between the "Trails Illustrated" fold-up maps and the "Topographic Trail Guides", the east coast is pretty well covered. https://www.natgeomaps.com/trail-maps https://www.natgeomaps.com/trail-maps I also use Gaia GPS as a planning tool. Fiddle with routes on the laptop, then load the relevant map squares on the phone for offline use. It has the NatGeo maps, plus several other sources, available for overlay. With this, my NatGeo paper maps largely become backups.
- maxerickson 6y agoHave you tried USGS topo maps? I guess the paper will be out of date, I'm not sure what the new electronic ones do for local and regional trails (I think they would print okay, they just aren't distributed directly on paper).
