What I was meaning is I only have the paper version that was given to us by the Cabin owner, it was done on google maps and printed out. I could go on google maps and center/zoom as they did for the photocopy I have then duplicate the trails at a much better resolution than the poor photocopy. Up to me I guess to either print and scan or download and use the image.

As you can see by my call sign I was very much into GPS and maps at its early stages of development but have lost interest over the years with other things in life mostly photography and work/family. I may get back into this aspect of the hobby now that we are taking up ATV ventures and trails with a Jeep. :-)

Have a 7in Android tablet with a 32gb SD card. I have used many GPS units back from the day of the GPS45 ad 50, GPSIII and 5 and several DeLorme models but have been out of it. Drove the flats in Moab last year with a rental Polaris RZRand wished I had a GPS with me. Now I have my own RZR and tablet mounted in the rig. I have backcountryNavigator and ORUX but want to be sure I am using the best option before I get involved with maps.

Any suggestions? Currently looking for trail maps in Western NC near Waynesville and Ashevile, WV and TN with some of GA.

I was given a photocopy of a google map with some trails near a cabin we are renting the 4th of July and would like to figure out if it's possible to scan and upload if not take from google maps and import myself. I guess I could duplicate it on line by looking at my hard copy map.

Any other resources and forums aimed more towards tablet mapping?

Thanks!
