Where can one find a good map to use when driving for $$s?

Question

I'm beginning the lead generation side of my business and going to start driving for dollars, to get a better idea of neighborhoods we would like to be situated in, etc. Where can I find a good map to use? The county assessor's map online won't print in a way that is usable.

Old School method: hit up your local County or City Chamber of Commerce for the area you are cruising.  Generally will have hardcopy maps and a great conversation on 'growth corridors'.  Merchants are generally looking at the same data (demographics, median income levels, zoning etc.) you are looking for - plus might be able to give you insight into what is gentrifying, or soon to be.

Somebody suggested, on a similar post from a few days ago, to try the app World Uncovered. Apparently it can track where you've been and you can add notes at locations. I downloaded it but haven't tried it yet myself.

Good luck!

This may be a little outside the box, but you can try using a running/workout app (such as Map My Run) and log your drives as workouts. I know it can be done using the website (which is how I use it) but the app may work better, depending on what you want to do.
