For example, in a mountainous area you might use a 20 foot or 40 foot interval. These are called contour intervals and are chosen by the mapmaker to be appropriate from the kind of terrain. No, elevation contours are completely independent from map scale. So a "24k" map has a scale ofand a k map has a scale ofTherefore on a map where the scale isone unit on the map like an inch is equal to 24, units on the earth.ĭoes that have any relationship to the distance between topo lines? Is there a way to determine what the scale is based on the distance between the topo lines? Say each line is 20ft difference in height how or could the scale be determined? January It it is a reference to the scale of the map, the smaller number the better as you have discovered. My guess is that the 24K is more detailed ie closer to earth? But when I did a search I couldn't really find anything that explained what these numbers mean. I was curious if someone could tell me what the 'K' means in relation to the map.

I went ahead and purchased this set and went to Pinckney Rec area a couple of weeks ago…. Care to share the deal you mention? This works for me and my 62… that way I do not have to pick a region… but the maps only work for the device they are registered to, but you can see them in Basecamp…. Also trying to figure out custom maps maybe even including aerial imagery. Not cheap! More than the GPS device alone. I am based in Ohio so I would need three separate purchases of 24k maps to get Ohio and surrounding states.
DeLorme Topo USA vs Garmin 24k maps comparison I tried the free maps but did not have anything to compare them too. I has asked as I spotted a very good deal on some maps I was interested in. I also like that I have the entire united states loaded up, wherever I go. I have no experience with 24k but I bought the k scale with my device.
