Caltopo just made their weekly high-res layer Pro only ($50 a year) I don't use it enough for it to be worth it but I was wondering if anyone has another favorite site (free) with a similar feature.

Not sure what you mean by "weekly hi-res layer". Are you referring to the JNX format maps one can download to an unlocked Garmin device? Robert

It’s found under the base map layers. It’s satellite imagery that is updated weekly which I use for checking for snow cover.

I found the weekly hi-res useful as well. Not as hi-res as Google Earth or Bing, but good enough to figure out snow cover and new logging roads.

Caltopo gets their data from Sentinel-hub, so that is the site to use as fourteen410 said. The imagery is actually posted more than once a week, so it is more useful than caltopo since you can search for days that aren't cloudy. you can also use the cloud slider to find the last date that wasn't cloudy. ex: Here

I went into this in Sentinel Playground and it looks like a very useful resource for spring/early summer snow cover planning. Thanks up.gif I hate to embarrass myself by asking such a dumb question, but I couldn't find the answer in any of the documentation. When you toggle between the map and satellite image how do you get the map to stay for more than a second before it flips back to the image? I have gotten it to stay with combinations of clicks of the mouse roller wheel but there must be a better way.

I just scroll back and forth really fast haha. I haven’t taken the time to figure it out either.

That is basically what I have been doing with the mouse wheel. But you seem to have to do it fast to get the map to stay put and it doesn't always land on the zoom level you might want. I just though there might be a feature in app that was a little more elegant than that. Maybe fourteen410 knows.
