Yep, the data is all verbatim from Jonathan's KMZ file. I'm not sure,
but it looks like Jonathan may be adding in alternate routes from the
northern terminus southward. Montana shows a lot of these, for
instance, but few if any south of there, and much of the "main track"
in WY, CO, and NM is presumably templated around what Jonathan actually
walked, ie some of it is surely out of date in terms of defining a
"main" or "most popular" route. Based on his website description it
looks like JL may be accepting "donations" of additional data, which
could be added to his file and then filter downward from there. <br>
<br>
My main intent with the GPX files was to offer the two (nobo and sobo)
versions of a universally GPS-friendly single-file set of track
segments for the whole trail, that could be uploaded once prior to a
thru-hike and referred to whenever needed, without the need to upload
additional files during the hike due to storage capacity issues. In the
jungle of various GPS data sets available in cyberspace, this seemed to
be a niche that hadn't yet been filled. The compromise with such a
single-file approach will always be the unsatisfactory answer to the
question of which route to offer. My intent is not to answer this, but
if the trail community can settle on something (perhaps the CDTA route
except where unpopular and little-used?) then that might present the
best possible answer for now.<br>

<pre wrap="">These posts from Jonathan Ley's maps are great, but note that the
southern terminus for NM is showing as Antelope Wells. This was one of
the two southern terminii when Ley hiked, but now I understand the
"official" terminus is Crazy Cook. I also understand that Antelope
Wells is to be avoided due to drug smuggling and illegal immigration
activity.
