Does anyone use a mapping software to keep track of their hunts and scouting?
If so what kind and why?

I have tried a mapping gps and phone software, but here is the sad truth I have almost perfect far vision but my up close vision stinks, so the small screens are useless with out my glasses.
I use an etrex because mark and goto is basically all I use. Have copied waypoints by hand to paper maps and printed google maps for several years. I can make them big enough to read. But they all end up in the trash eventually.
Looking to create some detailed maps on    Adventure Paper   and save them on my computer.

Might take a look at ARCGis. Very detailed and you can layer over with topo, vegetation, water sources, etc.
