Plat Map Tutorial:

Actually No, it is easy to get a grid co-ordinate off a topo.
The purpose is once you find say an old school on an 1879 topo map.how to locate where it is at on a modern map.
The topo should have a section number, and then find that section on the modern map and overlay the old topo section onto the new or modern map.
or, Just by having the section number from both old and new,should be able to get fairly close to where the target once was!

It looks like at least some of the features require a subscription... See below
Subscriptions
A subscription is recommended for the enhanced features of Earth Point. These are:
Township and Range grid on Google Earth
Excel To Google Earth
Coordinate Grids on Google Earth
Calculate Polygon Area
Batch Convert
Enhanced features are marked with a
However, if you are just looking, or if you don't use the enhanced features of Earth Point, then there is no need to purchase a subscription.
If there are several people in your office and you would like one billing for all of them, the solution is to put these accounts into "sub-accounts". If you would like assistance, I can easily convert existing accounts into sub-accounts.
Three subscription types are available.
Option 1 $50 per year per user (group rates available) or $5 per month per user. This is tailored for business users who want a fixed billing regardless of use.
The following group rates apply to Annual accounts:
Users Cost/User Discount
1 - 4 $50.00 per user 0%
5 - 10 $42.50 per user 15%
11 - 20 $40.00 per user 20%
21+ $37.50 per user 25%
Option 2 put $10 into a pre-paid account. A good choice for infrequent users; your Earth Point account is reduced pennies at a time based upon your activity. For the money, you get about the same amount of use as a fixed-rate user, but you can take spread it out over time. You have the option of "Automatic Recharge", which automatically purchases more credit when the account gets low. Rates: Township and Range, Coordinate Grids, $0.01 per grid refresh (which is triggered by a position change in Google Earth); ExcelToKml, $0.0001 per mapped row, first 200 rows free.
Education/Humanitarian - No charge for students, teachers, or non-governmental charitable relief organizations. Approvals on a case-by-case basis.
Governmental organizations in developed countries, except for schools and universities, are asked to get a paid subscription. If you have budgeting issues, I can approve a free trial subscription to get you through the current fiscal year.
Everyone is welcome to use whichever option best fits their needs.
User accounts are not needed for the other features of Earth Point. Boise area real estate and property search are free, as are the conversion utilities on the Township and Range and the Convert Lat/Lon pages. However, if you do not have an account, then the Enhanced Features cannot be used to their full capacity. For example, the "Township and Range" the "Coordinate Grid" links on Google Earth expire after a few moves, and the ExcelToKml spreadsheets are limited to 200 rows.

Yes but on the township and range you can delete it from google earth if it quits and just download it again.
