<div> </div><div> </div><div>Free maps of the CDT states are available. I haven't loaded anything but the Arizona topos into my gps yet because I am heading out on the AZT for a couple of days next week - but they look fine to me. After Thanksgiving I'll have some time to play around with the GPS a bit more but it seems easy enough. It has a 'where to?' function that looks like it would work great with the compass rose functions on the Ley maps. For me I mainly just want to be able to pick out my location on the Ley maps. </div>
<div> </div><div>Bearcreek has a gps track of the "official CDT" that you can get from the web.</div><div>The CDT will be the first trail I am using a GPS on. In a way I feel a bit like I wimped out - succumbing to the "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My" fear mongering mentality but then again like Dan'l Boone - I've been know to be confused for a few days at a time.</div>
