## Questions & Answers

**Q: Beginner here! Pls recommend right kind of maps (brand & where to get them) for FL, GA & NC to use w/this protractor & a compass**
A: Thanks for your question!  The USGS Map Store is a great place to find topographic maps for this area.  You will probably also find the MapTools website helpful--it has a number of great tutorials.

**Q: I'm planning a trip to yellowstone and my maps are at 1:63360 scale, am I right that this won't work properly?**
A: You are correct. This tool does not have a 1:63,360 scale on it. We do have several tools that do have that scale: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CIFHHS, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CIA2ZU, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005F13HUY, and http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GR0XCW.

**Q: Do they have one with 1/70,000 scale**
A: We do not have a stock tool for 1:70,000 scale maps. Contact us about making custom tools for any scale.

**Q: How thick is the plastic?**
A: The tool is about 0.030" thick. The material is  not brittle, but rather stiff and flexible.  It is very similar to the thickness and flexibility of a credit card.
