Scribble Maps

I found this web site (free but register to save work), http://www.scribblemaps.com/, that lets you draw, create, save and print your own modifications to any online interactive map.  The maps can be based around Google maps, Street maps, Astronomy maps, Terrain maps, Topography maps, or a hybrid of some of these maps.  You can zoom in on the maps and get real definitive with your lines, shapes, scribbles, and labels or you can zoom out and place pushpins, arrows, people, and other signs on the map.  A really neat web site that can be great for a variety of activities both personally and with students.

I recently used this web site, to sketch out and draw pipe lines and sewer system mounds and to label each system and pipe material, for my dad who owns a company that installs sewer systems.  He was pretty amazed that this can be done, because the printed product will provide a for sure way for his workers to know exactly where to dig, exactly where to install the system systems, and exactly what material to use throughout the project.  A picture is below.
