Provide your Trails tracks to him and he will incorporate it into the
Topographic map data.. I think this is much more useful then a set of
tracks that I have to update and remember to grab before leaving for a
trip. If the trails are on the map I no longer have the limit of only
X number of tracks in a GPSr.
