New waypoint files matching the books have been put online. The old waypoint files are there as well, for those who are using previously published books. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#0D0D0D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#0D0D0D'>I also have published a book with maps of just the reroutes and changes for those who have older versions of the Mapbooks but have not yet completed the trail. This is far less costly than re-purchasing the entire set. My original plan was to publish a single book of new maps for NM and CO, and a second one for WY/ID/MT. It turns out that publishing a single book for all the changes trail-wide only cost a few dollars more than doing the separate books, so I have done that instead. This book is bare bones, with none of the explanatory information found in the regular books. These revisions require using the new waypoints, so you may have to do some blending of waypoints if you utilize this approach. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#0D0D0D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#0D0D0D'>New mileages are now 776.1 for NM, 737.1 for CO, 509.9 for WY, and 993.4 for MT to Waterton.
