Uncle Ron Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yo, Guys ... I need some input from you ... As you know, I always have a link to connect to my little map website on my posts, even though I very rarely get links to folks looking at maps from the forums ... 99% of the website hits come from search engines ... For some reason, this year no one is connecting and ordering maps ... I must be doing something wrong and I would sure appreciate some objective (or even subjective) input or advice as to why, despite me getting a bunch of hits each day this time of year, no one is following through with map orders as in the past ... ... I sure would appreciate your honest, brutal if necessary, opinions on why ... Thanks, Yer Unc in the Dubyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
way2cool Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Maybe the your competitors are offering better products? Footprints for one. Yea it's 3x the money but you get more then 3x the value with all the additional info that is just a click of a button. JMHO. Good Luck.

Ridge Runner Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi Uncle Ron Over the years if I had maps from you my thinking was I got the best one could have in the field. I still like your maps better than anything else I can buy. The thing is everything in the world is on a change and we forced to change with it. I haven't put out money for them but you see so many DVD's to replace your maps. I seen one guy the had his laptop with a map in it plus the GPS that was hooked to it showed where he was at all time. Everything you see be it GPS,I-Phone are other electronics and the list goes on to replace a fold out map. The BestChuck Anders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I have not used paper maps for way over ten years.handheld gps units when on foot and gps combined with digital maps on computers mounted in vehicleshave replaced nearly everything paper.

AZNuggetBob Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I prefer folded hard copy maps when I'm out in the field especially if Im in a new area that Im not familiar with.my cell service is going in and out all the time when Im out in the hills hiking/hunting.Call me old school and as much as I like technology I try not to rely on it out in the hills.AzNuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredm Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I use real maps-the ones on paper...I mark my finds on the paper and that reveals much over the range of the map...of course I also enter them on Google earth for the truely Big Picture.I have several of Ron's maps and they have been well worth the price!fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
