After listening to my BCD396T for awhile I have realized that I need to know where the county roads are for the areas I am listening to. I have tried map searches which seldom come up right. Have any of you found a quick way to locate the county roads, short of unfolding a paper map and searching all the roads for the right one.

Brazoria County has a messed up system of county roads. There are some county roads that have numbers and no name. There are also some that have names but no numbers. Then there are the ones like mine, with both. What you need to buy is the Brazoria/Galveston County Key Map. It is a map made by a company called, Key Map Inc. They are located in Houston. I know here in Pearland they have the key maps at Wal-Mart. They will run you about $30 and it is the most handy thing to have. They have an index in the front of all the roads and then you can look them up from there. I have a tab on the first page of county roads so when I hear one I dont know, I can just flip right there and find it. They have a listing of all State Highways, FM roads, everything. It also shows the boundaries of cities and that helps to determine whether a street is in the city or county. If you cant find one at Wal-Mart, do a search for Key Maps on your search engine. They have a website you can order the maps from. There were talking before about making a comptuerized version but it still has not happened.

Check your local Wal-Mart. They usually have a Key Map stand in the check-out area.

True, but most agencies in the Harris/Galveston/Ft Bend/Brazoria Counties area use the Key Map for most operations.
