You might want to try playing with some of these toys too, if you want 3D maps. The program 3DEM will create 3D maps from USGS Digital Elevation Maps (DEM). It can also overlay images such as the photos from terraserver or digital topos. 3DEM can also incorporate GPS data and do animated flybys. Obviously an essential kayaking tool!! :-)

3D software - Free

DEM Data - Free, but can be very large to download

One source of digital topos - Very low res: free
High res: pay for download (very very large!) or CD
