Thanks for the info!

Are there websites where you can download maps of trails in any given area for download to the gps?? maybe people make custom maps and share them somewhere? How does that work? We were hoping we could get a gps and download maps of trails we did not know about previously and then use the gps to get to the trail head etc... then follow the trail using the gps.

Does that happen? Is that possible?

Thanks!

My wife and I are avid hikers. We have done some national parks and any trail we can find thats nice. I am considering purchasing a hand held gps and am trying to understand how im going to benefit. Our hope is that this website provides hiking trails on the maps I download and presto!...lots of trails to explore are on it and the gps will tell us how to get there. Is it that easy?
I just downloaded the Delaware Water Gap in NJ/PA and when I opened it Google Earth started with a topo map over that area. I cant see any trails on the map tho. Am I missing something?

Hope I dont sound to much like a dummy!

Hello,

I just now found this website. I am considering buying a hand held gps. I downloaded the Delaware Water Gap map from NJ and I opened it. When I ran it, Google Earth opened and showed the area I downloaded but I dont see any trails on the map. Where are the trails?

Thx!
