[pct-l] HALFMILE!!! You GPS god you........

[Michael Pinkus]

The problem I have here is that I'm in Canada and would have to order the disks from the US and I'm running out time. If I choose the 24k map download option, I'm looking at $200 US to get the maps.

    It would probably work. I
      don't know how accurate the PCT route is on this. Perhaps someone
      who has it can compare a section or two of halfmile's actual gps
      track to it. I have the Garmin TOPO 24K West which covers
      Washington, Oregon, California and Nevada. List is $130 but it is
      a lot less on Amazon.

      

      Reading the description of the Garmin Trailhead Series - PCT it is
      very limited -- per the description that is downloaded and
      installed on one Garmin GPS and apparently you would have little
      or no other access to the maps and info.

      

      I think you will be better served by get the TOPO 24K West which
      as I read the Garmin license you can use on any Garmin product but
      not on gear manufactured by others. You are also allowed to use it
      on one computer. From what I've heard, Garmin uses a proprietary
      map format so Garmin maps will not work on other manufactures GPS
      anyway.

      I found this on Garmin's website. Will this work with your GPS waypoints?
