[pct-l] Maps

[Austin Williams]

Hi Crystal,
My opinions on the pros and cons of the various map options are here:

The PCT Atlas' are expensive, but they are also pretty awesome.
In my opinion, the PCT Atlas, the Postholer Pocket Maps, and the Half Mile's
maps are all about on par.  You could use any of them to safely navigate the
PCT.  I'd check out the pros and cons of each and see which ones best match
your needs.

As far as info and map resolution/quality goes, those three have everything
you'll need and more... you can choose any of them and feel safe and
confident.

Good luck!
