My Trails Map

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:38:37 -0800

These are transparent trails and points maps. They are meant to show things City Navigator does not have. My St. Louis Area Trail map has about 4000 points and about 4000 trail/road segments. They are trails, parking areas, roads not shown on City Navigator (for example, I have all the roads in Bush Wildlife Area), scenic areas, buildings, shelters, and various other things not shown in City Navigator. They are transparent so they show up over City Navigator like the topo lines. One problem I had with them was trails were sometimes hard to see when there were lots of close topo lines. Someone taught me how to use a new program that allows you to make Garmin display the trails as a thin red line. Now the trails show up extremely well. These maps cover the ST Louis MO/IL region very well. There are maps for all of IL and MO and other states like IN, CO, OH, DC, NM, KY, Iowa, MN, TN and VA.

My Topos Map

Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:46:16 -0800

These are transparent maps that show up on top of City Navigator which you still use for route calculation. They have topo lines and hydrology (streams, rivers, lakes, etc). The topo lines are from the USGS and they are more accurate than what is on the 24K USGS maps. I generally use a 10 foot contour interval. The hydrology is high resolution (equal to or better than the 24K USGS). Some places do not have the high resolution data). I have also done lots of corrections to the hydrology by looking at ExpertGPS, Google Earth, and field checks. What it looks like in the GPS is City Navigator with topolines and much better hydrology. This is great for caching as many times it helps you figure out how to get to a cache as you can see the terrain and where the water is. That makes it easier to figure out how to get to a cache as a straight line is not always the best way.
