+Kealia Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I've used the Search feature extensively and haven't been able to find a thread on this. The User Manual is no help and I can't find anything online anywhere so I'm asking you here: Is there a way to make Mapsend show county lines? I have DirectRoute NA v.200 It would be helpful to be able to see the county lines while out searching for caches (ok, I'm working on a California County challange, ok ) Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 I don't think I've ever seen a county line show in a Mapsend map. I don't believe they included that information in the dataset. Quote Link to comment
+Kealia Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 I don't see it either. I was hoping for an option that I don't know about, or a way to do it. Anybody else have any experience with this? Quote Link to comment

Anybody else have any experience with this? Data for county lines is readily available from online GIS repositories. You could create your own map from that. It takes some determination, though...

Okay, I took pity on you. See here: CA_counties.img. (Go easy on my server; no guarantee of uptime). I also put the source mp file in the pub/maps directory if someone wants to tweak it. My source for data was http://www.biogeog.ucsb.edu/projects/gap/gap_data.html with format and coordinate transformation via ogr2ogr, then combined in GPSMapEdit and converted to Garmin img with cGPSMapper (whew! I told you it takes determination...) Quote Link to comment

Oh, well, maybe someone else will get some use out of it (I already did and I learned more about the map tools I'm using, so it wasn't a total loss). Quote Link to comment
