US TrailMaps

[+EricRJones]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has used either of the US TrailMaps products that are available from Garmin. There is a Whitewater map set an an Equestrian one. I'm interested in the Whitewater map particularly, although I'm happy to hear about experiences with either one. For instance, do the maps just indicate put-ins and take-outs, or do they include the location of significant rapids and river-running notes. I'm using an Oregon, and I live in Southern New-England if that is helpful information.

 

Thanks

I have the WW maps on my Oregon - if there are certain rivers you would like me to check let me know. The few that I've used seem to be take-out and put-in only. My post here has some information on how it works:

Are these maps transparent and dot they work with the current firmware properly?

Thanks. I was hoping some basic information from the river guidebooks was included. It's often hard to remember when you are paddling that the book said "after 1.5 miles, stay river left to avoid the large hole". Or if you do remember, to figure out to where the heck "after 1.5 miles" is.

 

Outside of giving waypoints descriptive names, though, I wonder if something like that is even possible.

Yes. No.

Yes. No.

 

That is good as is give Garmin a reason to ensure transparent map continue to work.
