It’s that time of year, when handheld GPS enthusiasts’ thoughts turn to tech toys
the outdoors. Yes, spring will be here soon, very soon for some of us, and I’ve got a few goodies for those of you ready to hit the trail:
More free maps for your Garmin GPS
I don’t know who John M. is, but he’s my hero du jour, because he’s posted a southeastern U.S. map with 20 foot contour intervals at GPS File Depot (image at left). The map installs directly to MapSource. There’s also one for New England and much of the southwest. As I perused the site, I also noticed an RSS feed, so you can easily be notified as new maps are posted. This is the best single location I know of for downloading free Garmin-compatible maps for the U.S. Now I just need someone to upload a transparent trails map for the southeast!
About Rich Owings
Hello,
I just posted your article on my blog site and I hope I credited you properly.
You see I am new to blogging and need like minded people like yourself to develop a productive presence on the web. I would like to add a link to your site on mine: http://abdipirz.wordpress.com/ is that ok with you? I am also in the process of developing a program that will help people manage their GPS data. It will be completed in a couple of months, hopefully!
Respectfully,
