Transparent Map PC Version Available Easy Installer Available Mac Version Available Works With Garmin

This is a transparent (shades but does not cover your other maps) landownership map.  It has all the public land ownership (and private such as Nature Conservancy) for the states that I could find.  Unlike the ownership in City Navigator, this does not effect readability. I've been adding states that I find data for.  If your state is not covered and you can find landownership shape files, let me know where.  Note for Western Sates (which have BLM landowership files), I have a seperate map set.  The BLM data is a bit different than the data I use in the East, so it needs to be a seperate mapset).
