What kind of resolution can you get and can you make useful printoits on a 
11X17
hires printer? For purposes of generating a features map of your property
(landforms, trees, gardens, water features, etc.) can you generate data that 
translates to
1/8" = 1' scale for aprinted image? Can you enter any text data or images 
that are linked to GPS coordinates?
