Now that Trails.com has sucked up topozone, is there anywhere I can go to get free topo maps to show youse guys and gals where I did my days walk about?

So let me ask you guys, what was your FAVORITE part of Topozone? Like, what features about it did you like the best?
I didn't really like it all that much, but I didn't use it to the extent I know others here did, and do. Personally I think the USGS and NOAA should make all charts and maps available free online, in scalable, zoomable, hi-res format, with annotated upates and current notices, navigation and measurement tools, and satellite imagery overlay.
Basically I think they should do this because it would be cool, and since we already paid them to make the maps, so it seems wrong to make us pay again to get some use out of them.

That's pretty much what they're already doing here: http://seamless.usgs.gov
But with the kind of clunky interface you might expect from a government agency

I hadn't see that before. Thanks for linking it. Pretty cool, and I give them credit for trying. Too bad about the java.
