Hi Chris. Hopefully by this time next week I will have a new map program. It is called Eartha Global Explorer. "Eartha Global Explorer offers you access to the enhanced satellite imagery of the entire planet, focused to the sharpest details of a local highway or expanded to display the entire Earth’s rotation. The software enables users to plan a trip anywhere in the world using actual air, rail, or road routes, and even book online travel reservations." As you can see it is used primarily for taking trips, but it can also be use to show locations of quakes. It allows you to put in multiply lat/long locations on one map as well as notes. Of course when you add notes things get a little cluttered. I have been using the Topo USA 4.0 for about 6 months now and found I can get a better understanding of some quakes when I can get a visual of where and when they occur in relation to other quakes. I also found that there times when you can’t make heads or tails of what’s going on. Nothing new there. Take Care…Don in creepy town
