Custom Topo Maps for Rucking

Because it seems good to always practice Land Nav whenever possible, particularly when rucking, thought I'd share this. This is also useful to just anyone in need of a good map.

This is MyTopo.com from Trimble Company. I saw it mentioned just briefly in some much older posts. Gives you the ability to create custom topographical maps on waterproof paper. Prices aren't bad, you can create a map of generally any CONUS location and have it shipped to you for ~$15-25.

In my outdoor exploits I have often found available maps difficult to get, expensive, or inadequate. Especially for smaller parks, etc. Military grid is available, along with several scale choices, datums, etc.

Does anyone else have experience using this product? Any advice on how to custom build these maps per military style?
