rabbitearscarver member Registered: 06/10/11 Posts: 27 Loc: Steamboat Springs, CO	Just got a topo map, and am shocked at the poor quality of the thing, compared to what I'm used to seeing. Kinda...fuzzy almost, maybe fewer dots per inch or something?? I'll try to post pics to compare. What gives? Thanks as always!
