Ok, I have searched and searched.

Where can I get a contour map of, say, Guntersville?

ADDED: I am looking for online versions..NOT paper versions.

Navionics probably has them. they offer paper(Waterproof) for a ton of lakes. As close as you are, just drive over there and pick one up from any marina.

Go to: www.navionics.com to check it out.

Have you tried your local Walmart or stores near any Guntersville ramps?

I have seen them on display at:

Waterfront Grocery and Tackle

Goose Pond Colony Bait and Tackle

Scottsboro Walmart

Apparently, you didn't search very hard.  Try some of the more obscure places like Bass Pro, Cabella's, and Academy.  Or you could Google "lake contour maps."  You might also want to try www.fishinghotspots.com and www.atlanticmapping.com

Is that really called for.....

usually it is best to do a google search for something like "guntersville contour map" (no quotes)

The first link came up with this:

Absolutely!  Even the most cursory internet search would have provided volumes of information.

Sigh.

I KNOW where to buy them.

I want them online so that I can search them at work and LOOK like I working. Also, so that I can easily add notes, zoom in, etc etc.

Also, so that I can add notes that aren't permanent and  Ican delete easily.

thanks guys. Really.

theres actually plenty of good suggestions and info in the other thread

You must have missed the link to DIGITAL maps on the hotspots site.  There is also http://www.angling-technologies.com/, but that's free.

Granted, hardcopy maps are from the Stone Age, but if you truly want to be in charge,

you can purchase the Garmin Inland Lakes 2010 DVD" (money well spent).

It supplies the cartography for something like 53,000 water bodies,

and 1,400 of them are in High-Def (1-foot increments).

Simply download the Garmin DVD onto the resident drive of your personal computer,

and you'll enjoy total interaction with all charted lakes in the United States.

The data is not embedded on a preprogrammed write-protected data card,

but resides directly on your resident hard drive, where it's totally interactive.

You'll be able to pinpoint your own waypoints coordinates

on your computer monitor without ever seeing the lake. Waypoints can be

quickly & easily edited, renamed, added and subtracted. Furthermore,

contour maps, waypoints and routes generated on your computer screen

may be instantly downloaded to your GPS device, while coordinates and tracks

generated "afield" may be instantly uploaded to your personal computer.

It's the Cat's Meow

I didn't miss it. Just not what I am looking for. Nor did it have the lakes I was looking for.
