sounds great.  pm sent.

I have already been utilizing My Trails, and it is terrific.  It contains many boundaries for State Parks, but I have not found any for state forests or WMAs.  It does, however, seem to have many of the roads that are on the state forests included.

I would be very interested in maintaining the my trails portion for Minnesota.  I am still very new to this, so I am not certain what sort of task this is.  I will be more likely to take this on once I can actually successfully make these maps so I know what I am getting myself into.

I will start playing around with gpsmapedit to see what sort of progress I can make.

Thanks.

I am fairly new to map making.  I have a Garmin 62s, and have already spent hours installing maps from this site and learning how to use them on my GPSr.

I am trying to make a map from an existing KMZ file that the state of Minnesota has on their DNR website of all the Wildlife Management areas.  I also intend on doing the same for the State Forests, Parks, etc.

The KMZ file is found here:
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/compass/wma/kml/mndnr_wmas.kmz

it includes boundaries for all of the WMAs in Minnesota, as well as parking areas and other POI.

I started by using GPSBabel or KML2GPX converters to convert them to a GPX file.  Then I tried using EZimg or GPX2IMG to convert them into a img file to display as a map.  The converters seem to make a decent GPX file (all the boundaries become tracks) but when I try to convert these GPX files to a map, the tracks won't convert or I get errors like "layer 0 missing"  I am wondering if I going about this the correct way.  Thanks in advance.  If I get this figured out, I will be sure to share them here.

already pre ordered!  I can't wait.

edit: any idea how many tiles this one will support?  2,025 like the 60csx or 4,000 like oregon?
