I found this program called USPhotoMaps. It's a program that downloads map images from Microsofts TerraServer. The best thing of all is it's free and it integrates with a GPS. You can load Topo maps, Satellite images, and in some areas color high definition Urban maps (Greater Seattle is covered). There are also a few utilities that can be used with it to help download regional data, obtain landmark data, and elevation data. This is the coolest free software of it's kind I have found yet, and the latest revision is 12-19-2004, very current.

You can locate the areas you want to go to on a topo map, create a waypoint and upload them to your GPS. Fun times with the GPS I got for Christmas!
