can choose to tailor make a poster-sized, custom-centered map via
a five-step online process, powered by MyTopo. The map will be printed
to the customer’s specification (scale, size, paper choice,
title, and grid) and shipped within twenty-four hours. The maps
are GPS navigation-ready, with accurate scale bars, north arrow
diagrams and declination, and detailed navigation grids.
MyTopo offers
the choice of a high quality glossy paper, well-suited for framing;
a waterproof and tear-resistant paper, with waterproof and UV-fade
resistant inks, which makes for a nearly indestructible field map;
or a laminated finish, which is perfect for marking up with dry
erase pens.
“We are
pleased to join with Fugawi Touratel to offer their customers the
convenience of ordering our custom-designed maps via their new website,
which is sure to be a popular site for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals,
and the many people who already rely on Fugawi’s popular mapping
software and products,” said Kevin Toohill, ceo and founder
