Nice work.  Just downloaded the latest update and can confirm that the roads in Pima look correct now.  I'll upload them to my GPS post haste and give them a try in the field immediately.

Thanks for all the work on this.

Any update on the road errors?  I'm not impatient for the fix, but was wondering if you figured out the problem or not.

Thanks.

GPX file sent.

Thanks.

Hey guys,

This is great work - very excited to have full contours on my GPS for use in the field.

I plan on coughing up some dough to support this effort.

I have noticed one problem so far, in southern AZ.  Take a look at these two screen shots.

The road in that shot is the Catalina Highway and it appears to be shifted north and slightly west compared to its actual location.  Garmin's topo 2008 (second image) has it in the right location.  The first screen grab also has a GPS track that shows the right location.

Is this a datum conversion error, or?  Topo lines and point features seem to be right on, but roads, at least in Pima County, are off (I have found other maps in western Tucson that are off).  Other roads (e.g. Northern AZ) seem to be ok.

Any insight would be great.  Even with this small flaw I'll still use these basemaps for my exploratory rides, and will still donate some bucks to the cause.

Thanks and great work.
