Title: Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
Post by: reficuul on September 24, 2010, 06:44:29 AM
I wasn't able to find anything very detailed in the Michigan sub category.. does anyone else know of any possible trail maps w/ campgrounds of Pictured Rocks?

I have the following downloaded already...

NE Topo USA 1/3  -- Pretty decent, has most of the campgrounds but not all of them..
Michigan Topo
Trails from 100k -- about 1/4 of the pictured rocks trails.
Trails from OSM -- had absolutely nothing in the northern part of the UP

Thanks for any advice!!

National Park Service map is here: http://home.nps.gov/applications/hafe/hfc/carto-detail.cfm?Alpha=PIRO#

If you have an Oregon/Colorado/Dakota/62/78 series GPS, you can make your own custom map: http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/site/us/onthetrail/custommaps

pretty cool, fooling around w/ it right now...

Do you know anything about the opaque setting???  If I set it to 50 will i see both the google maps image and the PIRO map?

thanks for the help man!!

I don't think that will have any effect on the map in your GPS, only in Google Earth. But not entirely sure, because I make my own custom maps using Globalmapper and not Google.
