bonathanjarrett Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I thought I would make a plug for Arnold Map Service in Vancouver, WA. If you live in the Portland Metro area, I highly recommend that you buy from Phil Arnold (95yrs) and his son, Phil Jr. Most significantly they carry, in stock, every USGS Quad Map for Oregon, WA, and I believe also Idaho. They also have Greentrails maps. Phil Arnold Jr. was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was even able to dig up some maps for B.C. for me. Phil Senior was a kick in the pants to talk to; he has been a map seller and maker since 1950. Yes, you can buy alot of this stuff online. Yes, you can use your Topo software. However, these guys run this business out of their house, and when you need a map immediately, most likely they have it. Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Deleted_Beck Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 sounds great- cant believe ive never heard of 'em before.. could have given them a lot of business over the years. i'm not seeing a website.. how do you contact/do business with them? do they have a storefront out of their house, or is it all mail/phone order?

yellowlab03 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Word, I'd love a place to buy some 1:50,000 US maps for MGRS. This Lat Long stuff is for the birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonathanjarrett Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Their website is: http://home.pacifier.com/~mapman/ but is it seriously old skool. I think I remember reading on their door that their hours are basically 9-5 mon-fri although I could be wrong. Phone: 360-695-7897 The storefront is in their house, but I am willing to bet that they would mail anything to you that you wanted or order in anything as well.
