Nice supplement/option to the others I have downloaded.The program comes with a user manual giving detailed descriptions of the different transport problems, listing the main program variables, input file formats.GPS/GNSS has an extraordinary capability to achieve accurate ellipsoidal heights, but those heights can be easily contaminated by incorrect H.I.s. They are quite nice - I went ahead and bought the Wash state map. If you own a newer Garmin GPS, such as the Colorado, Oregon, Montana, Dakota, 62 or 78 series GPSMap, or new etrex check out custom kmz imagery maps.Have a map author you like check out maps by creator.Want to see what we recommend check out Editors Choice Maps.Followed your advice and checked these out. If youre just looking for hiking in the U.S. Welcome to the map search section.
The free maps are so inferior I don't even have them on my GPS' and rarely open them in MapSource.Here is what I have on my 62st for the state of Washington and my personal view of the pros and cons. I bought this GPS unit for 170 on Black friday, what a steal.For Colo, I have the Garmin 24K Topos and Above the Timber topos, basically I only use the AtT unless I want to use the Garmin routing. However, there is a trend toward bipod- or range-pole-mounted antennas.I'd be curious, at some time in the future, if you'd post what maps you have and the respective Pros & Cons.The first device I got had very poor screen resolution, so I returned and got a second.
Routing can be strange at times. Nice to have on a PC to use with MapSource and BaseCamp because you can easily create a route on trails and then view the elevation profile.Cons: Expensive, trail coverage spotty, snowfields and glaciers not delineatedPros: Good city street coverage, routable.Cons: “City-oriented”, not outdoors. (That means I buy some of these things not just to address functional needs but rather because I can be obsessive.)Cons: Pretty useless to me, should have saved $ and just gone with the 62sPros: Routable, even on trails. I am also kind of a “mapping techno-weenie” – I have done cartographic work in the past (for NOAA) and in my work as a s/w developer I wrote the navigation s/w for what I will call a “fast flying aircraft”. I use this unit primarily for hiking, biking, and climbing – I am not a geocacher. I have 5 Garmin units dating back to the 12XL.
Good detail, including trails. In the end, limited utility for me.Pros: Free, good detail, some have good trail coverageCons: Not routable, not multi-level, terrain delineation a mixed bagPros: Nice product. Also, as a nostalgia fix for me it was worth the $30 - I have developed quite an attachment to some of the USGS maps I've had for over 40 years.Cons: Not routable, USGS maps can be dated.Pros: Can give a Google-like satellite image perspective that can be quite good.Cons: There have been image quality and download issues recently. Puts the same paper map I have in my hand into my GPS unit.
You did not ask for or recieve my written permission to do this-if you would have complied with the use agreement and asked, I would have said yes for personal non commerical use. This happened over and over, grossly inflating the file size.As to coverage, in urban areas MyTrails had somewhat more coverage than the Above the Timber maps, in BLM, NF somewhat less.First what you did is a violation of the copyright/use agreement you agreed to when you downloaded the map. Where three line segments would cover a trail, I found twenty. I was curious as to why so many names had so many instances? Turns out the file has never been edited and is simply one trail on top of another.
I am NOT kidding about this.Second, besides being a software pirate, you don't know what you are talking about. I also will expect to see a donation to make up for your illegal use of my work. I expect you to promptly erase the file. I have an obligation to protect the data.
I have the first version of Above the Timber map for CO. So I would be suprised to see a map without it. The BirdsEye products have so far played well with my 62ST.The Above the Timber topos display snowfields/glaciers inside your GPS, worth a look.The snowfields/glaciers are included in the USGS NHD data map authors use to make the maps. I have the old Wildflower Topo! maps which are USGS-based and I have always liked working with the USGS maps here in the Pacific NW - I prefer their display of permanent snowfields, glaciers, etc. They make transparent maps too.They had some initial bugs but seem to have worked through them.
On the OR, a glacier is displayed as white. MapSource will display a glacier as blue hatch lines. Hopefully these problems were fixed.The Above the Timber map for Wash does a nice job of glacier display, unlike many of the others which either don't delineate them at all or, as an example, display them as a crosshatch of blue lines (Garmin 24k topo).Even with just a quick check, I have seen some significant road errors in the Above the Timber map.A big part of the problem for this (and other display issues) is MapSource, BaseCamp, and GPSs display many features differently and many times the way it is displayed makes the feature hard to see, the map hard to see, or just does not make sense. I complained about the roads and was told they are for off road use. The roads were also pretty bad-I remember even I-70 being way off. They were in the right place, the mapmaker just did not seperate them out from the lakes (which is real simple to do).
For example, the default for trail is very hard to see. You can use the typ file to tell it how to display features. The screenshot also shows My Trails, My POIs, and Western Land Ownership (the pink shows Grand Teton NP and the Green shows Targee NF):However, map authors can overwrite these defaults with a custom typ file. The glacier is in My Topos.
