Default Graphic street maps

Im not sure if anyone uses these map books. I was just at a book store the other day and picked up a few of these Graphic street guides ($6.95) of the towns around me. I went through each page and highlighted every park and school. Then I went and plotted each site into my GPS. This way when im in a city that I dont know very well, i can easily navigate to these sites. I was excited to see there could be 10 or 20 parks in some areas.. Let me know what you think..

Good tip..I keep wondering which maker will make a MD with a built in gps..But i can see what you are doing puting it into the street gps to find the hot spots is a good trick..I'll have to check out one of them maps..do they tell any history about the parks places..I have several OLD parks around here..

thanks JC. I thought that would be helpful. I recently bought an in car GPS system and it has a Parks catagory. So where every you are you can hit that button and it will give you any parks around you and in which direction and mileage you are from park. Great stuff!
