Frequently Asked Questions

If you don't find an answer to your question here, just drop us an email.

Q: What program do I use to view the PDF files?
    
While we usually recommend that people use the latest version of Adobe® Reader®, we've recently run accross a similar program by a company called Foxit

Q: Can I buy single print of the map I want?
     We are not currently offering individual paper prints of these maps. However, paper prints of many maps available as part of a set of town map overlay sets from our sister site, Vermont Roads.
 

Q:  The map I want isn't available, do you have plans to get it?
    
We're constantly scanning new maps, and if there is demand for a specific map we'd like to hear from you so we can go out and get it. We also have several maps that are still in the process of being scanned or complied, so if you're curious don't hesitate to inquire.

Q: What format are the maps on CD? What do I get on a CD?
     Most of our CD's contain maps in a PDF file. This is an open format that most computers can read. We provide Windows version's of the Adobe® Reader® Software on the CD, but the latest version can always be download from Adobe. Some CD's contain JPEG or TIFF images of maps, for more information refer to the product description (if you find that unclear, send us an email).

Q: I don't have a PayPal account, can I still buy your maps online?
    
A PayPal account is not required for online orders; PayPal also accepts credit cards.

Q: Can I buy the CDs in stores?
    
Yes. You can buy the map CDs at retail stores in Burlington, Middlebury,
Rutland, Woodstock, Manchester, Bennington and other locations.  A complete listing of stores will be available on the web site soon.

Q: How do I print/enlarge a section of a map?
    
To print a small area of the map, if you are using Adobe Reader, you simply zoom into the area you want to print, select PRINT (or press ctrl-P) and then select the print range "Current View". This option wont be available if you have more than one page on your screen at a time.
     Similarly, to extract a small piece of map out into other software, just use the Windows Clipboard feature. Zoom in to the area you want and press your Print Screen button. The screen image will now be in the clipboard, and can be easily pasted into other software (such as an image editing program or word processor). You will need to crop some of the edges of this screenshot, as it will include extraneous non-map images.
