Download this software and use it. http://www.jdmcox.com/ It will allow you to download satelite pics and super-impose topo lines, roads,and waypoints on it. I think it will interact with your GPS as well. Don't have one but it has a GPS setting.

GIS is geographic information systems. www.gis.com My county has one as well integrated into their tax maps. Great for finding new areas to seek permission on. LOL Gives owners name and address.

I second USAPhotomaps from www.jdmcox.com. It does work with a GPS and it is my number one tool for desktop scouting. It uses the microsoft terraserver database and puts the info you download into a file on your hard drive so you can make maps/photos as large as you want as long as it doesn't cross from one UTM zone to the next. Great topos, aerials, grid lines, waypoint up/download, track or route up/downoad, etc. Too much to list, and it's FREE!

RE: arial photos

the best aerial pictures is on www.terraserver.microsoft.com , they have always been the best so i don't where i am at
also is easy to see where you are using basic tools like a compass
