Hi,
Some of you may recall earlier this year when I started a brief thread
about creating an overlay mapset for Garmin GPS receivers that contains
trails in the Southwest. Well, that project is now a reality, and I
have just released the first alpha version today! You can check it out
at :
http://www.outdoor-resources.com/SW_Trails/
This mapset is designed to transparently overlay any existing maps you
have on your Garmin GPSr. With this mapset, you can see, and follow,
and trails that are in your area. No longer do you need to download
tracks or routes to your GPSr when all you want to do is have the
trail. Assuming that your desired trail is in the current data set,
you're covered!
I would very much appreciate people at least checking out the web page
and providing constructive feedback. This project is in it's infancy,
and there is lots of work to be done. But, in my own field testing,
it's proven to work pretty well so far. I intend to allow user
contributions in the very near future, so you can send me new trails or
corrections to current trails. Anything that makes it better!
Thanks!
