My problem is I am plotting a cross country route through the Sierra's using both USGS 24K quads and

Mapsource TOPO West don't match. Waypoint coordinates plotted on the Quad using a UTM Waypointer ruler and

waypoints created in TOPO don't coincide. A point on the quad doesn't match the same spot on the Mapsoure TOPO.

For example on the Mt. Hilgard Calif. quad the center of Lake Italy lies at 3400000 E 41360000, but in TOPO the

same spot on Lake Italy is 340150 E 4136250. Mapsource. The difference averages about 150 m east by 200 north.

What's causing the difference and how do I correct for this? I can plot successfully between of different scales.
