Texas Hill Country Maps

Texas Hill Country Maps are Great!

That is... if they have what you are looking for.

I am old enough to remember using paper maps to get around in unknown territory.  That meant I'd have to check the map when I made a stop.  Or... I would rely on a my navigator (Judy) to help me know when and where to turn.

Our Changing Times

But today, though, maps are digital.  They are easily pulled up on computers, tablets, phones, and dash navigators.  I have completely quit using paper maps.  And... I know some of you out there have never used a paper map.

I love it!

Like I said... maps are great, if they show what you are looking for.

But if they don't, you are off looking for a different Texas Hill Country map that has what you want.  Right?

The example above is a photo.  You can see Texas and what surrounds it.  There are only a few towns and roads.  And I drew an oval in the middle to show you about where the Texas Hill Country is located.

The map shows what it needs to, but not much more.  And... it's a photo.  So it can't be changed.

Texas Hill Country Maps and Beyond

This form of a Google map, gives you a little more flexibility.  You have a zoom capability, as well as an option to drag the map to different locations.  And even a satellite view.

And, the view larger map button will give you a full screen view with even more options.

Just being able to zoom in and out helps with big picture views and closer details.   So this type of map would be better than just a picture.  

Getting Around

Another great thing about various Texas Hill Country Maps, is that they can help you plan a day trip, or a weekend getaway.  They give you route options.

In this example below, a trip from Austin to Boerne shouldn't take much more than an hour and a half.  Of course you choose the route (through the Texas Hill Country or along the Interstate). 

But, you may want to make stops along the way... for lunch or whatever.  Maps are not only helpful like this, they are fun to use.  Recalculate the route, create a different route, or add an out of the way stop on the way to your final destination.

Anyway... I think they are fun.

Couldn't leave out an example of a satellite view.

I Can Do That

Did I hear you say... "I can do that.  I can get a map whenever I want."?

Of course you can do that.  I know you have probably been using digital maps online for a long time. 

Most of what I have been talking about and showing you is fairly basic (useful but basic).

My intent here is not to dazzle you with new tech or something never seen before.  It is to simply present something useful and worthwhile. 

Not only maps that show towns and roads, but also specific routes (day trips), points of interest, wineries, places to stay and eat, etc (with info about each). 

And even though all of this is something you can do for yourself, if I start accumulating all of these different types of maps (located in one place), it might become useful for some.

I hope to make extensive use of maps.  And, as my knowledge grows, make them as interactive and easy to use as possible.
