For you iPad users (and maybe Mac users), you should check out the app called "mytopo maps by trimble outdoors". It's free and it is awesome. You can overlay terrain and topo and there is a slide function so that you can fade more towards one or the other. I love it. You can find something on the topo, then slide the bar towards terrain, and have a really nice google earth style picture. It's two maps in one. I stare at it for hours...for an Illinois guy, it's as close as I'll get to scouting for quite some time.
