SD vs. Download
2 Ways to Order
1. Pre-Loaded microSD/SD card - Simply plug card into your GPS and go
microSD/SD card Advantages
- Very Easy to use! Simply plug the memory card into the memory card slot on your GPS and go.
- No downloading software and messing with the computer.
- The microSD can also be used to view the map on your computer through Garmin's BaseCamp software (for Advanced Users). View the map on your computer to help find areas to hunt or scout before you hit the ground.
- Some GPS units don't take microSD or SD cards, so you will have to use the download version.
2. Download Version - View Maps on your Computer for trip planning and scouting, then send maps to your GPS or your own SD card
Download Version Advantages
- Download version allows you to view the map on the computer then send the map to a GPS. View the map on your computer to help find areas to hunt or scout before you hit the ground.
- Updating your map is faster. Simply download the new version of the map from our website and install it on your GPS.
- Downloading and installing all the maps and necessary software can be difficult and time-consuming.
- For Advanced Users only
- High Speed Internet required for these large file downloads
- You will be able to see your position relative to public and private land boundaries. For example, if you are on a BLM section, your current location will show up on a yellow background. If you are on private land, your GPS will show your current location on a white background.
- Wherever you go you have a Statewide Ownership and Topo Map compact down to a device that fits in the palm of your hand and weighs less than a pound.
- Easily Compare to your Paper Maps to quickly figure out your location on that Paper Map using section lines and property ownership coloring as a reference.
- The PLAT4GPS map gives you 2 data sources to help you be sure of Property Ownership.
2. Government Owned Lands data that distinguishes government owned lands from private lands by coloring: [BLM, State , Forest Service , private=white, US Fish & Wildlife , National Parks , Indian Reservations, etc.]
Please Note that these 2 data sources may show property boundaries differently in some cases. In most cases the property boundaries the same or less than 20 ft different, but in some cases the boundaries differ by 100 yards or more. In any case, the map will give most users a better idea of where the actual property boundary is than by simply using a paper map alone. By comparing these two data sets and obeying property postings, users can be even more confident that they aren't violating trespassing laws.
The Tax Data is typically more accurate as far as ownership because government tax revenue is at stake. If the Government Owned Lands data shows an area as being government owned, but the Tax Data shows a private land owner's name on the property, trust the Tax Data and assume it is private land until you can verify ownership by talking to a Local Law Enforcement Official or Surveyor.
Accuracy
We concentrate our efforts to providing the most current and accurate property boundaries and ownership available. These maps are for Reference Purposes only. Always obey property postings and use common sense to visually verify boundaries.
Data is taken from the most current state and national government agency's land survey data. Because of the data compilation methods used by state agencies and Montana Mapping & GPS, LLC, the data is subject to error. No representation is made or warranty given as to its content or usability. User assumes all risk of use. These data do not constitute a legal survey; when seeking the definitive description of real property, consult the deed recorded at the local county courthouse or official land records in the respective federal or state agencies.
No warranty is made by the Bureau of Land Management. The accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data for individual use or aggregate use with other data is not guaranteed. The surface management agency data should be used as a general guide only. Official land records, located at the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and other offices, should be checked for up-to-date information concerning any specific tract of land. Roads crossing public lands may be used unless closed by signs or notice by the land management agency. Public domain lands surrounded by private land may not be accessible. Permission is required from private landowners to cross private land, unless access is provided by a Federal, State or County road, or a BLM road with legal access.
