<DIV>Mark, I think what you propose has a lot of value. The AZ topo seems
to be off on the location of waypoints/caches when compared to the Garmin Topo
2008. The AZ topo is more detailed but I think the Topo 2008 is good
also. I do a lot of back country driving and have quite a few
trails/tracks saved for future use. If someone is willing to develop an
overlay that can be used so I don't have to download the tracks all the time
that would be very helpful.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would be willing to provide as much data as I can for the overlay if that
will help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Go for it!</DIV>

Provide your Trails tracks to him and he will incorporate it into
