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 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!!

Almost none (if any) of the maps on this site support routing. Routing requires that the map be constructed in a special way and it gets complicated. On a non-routable map, you can insert waypoints along a road and you will be routed in a straight line between them, regardless of where the road twists and turns. Routes can only have a limited number of waypoints though - something like 50, or maybe 100.

so I can break up the route into trails so to speak... And just have 10 different routes, w/ 100 of those flags on each route??

Will you see all those little flags Via Points (i think they are called) on the GPS??

It doesn't seem to auto map, but i can zoom in and add the route tool to the point where i have a ton of little flags...

is that the only way to route a trip?

Jim,

Is there a way that you can use the "Auto-Routing" tool that Map source offers with your "My Trails" map pack?

thanks man...

now any idea how these work??

I installed the my trails and when i pull it up on mapsource all i get is a bunch of black dots... doesn't seem to have any trails on it...

He says that it works with city navigator, however, I never got that w/ my garmin product.

any ideas/help from anyone??

Thanks,

Wondering if there is a nice map out there that will show me all of the trails as well as the POI's like campgrounds and summits...

Just bought a new GPS and I want to test it out before I purchase the garmin national park software CDs.

Thanks,
