I downloaded My Trails.  I think there's very little near me (Memphis, TN).  I'm having a very hard time searching for trails.  When I zoom in enough to see anything, all I see is dots.  I don't find any state borders or anything else to try and tell what area I'm looking at.  The only thing I figured out was to zoom in far enough to get the name of a trail and do a web search to see where that trail is.

Am I missing something?

Anybody know of any other good backpacking trail map sources?  I'm looking for the western half of TN, the northern half of AL , AR, and MS.

I'm brand new to gps.  Got an Oregon 550T.  I've loaded one map on it, but I'm interested in creating custom maps for backpacking trips.  I've ordered the 24K dvd from Garmin for my area

Q:  In creating maps for backpacking, what type do you find most useful?  Google Earth, something with trail info, just use the Garmin dvd?

Q:  If I overlay , is there a combination of map types that will be the most useful for backpacking?
