Many thanks for all the thumbs up!
๐To answer some of the questions:
- I stick to the West for lower temperatures and humidity
- My trip to Alaska was adventurous enough w/o going further North
- I don't have 4WD and I rarely get on dirt roads I wish I wasn't on. The maximum length of campsites at a particular campground, which can usually be found on the internet, would probably determine if your rig would be suitable.
- profdant139 nailed it. No internet, no map of this sort.
๐FYI, I keep all my campsite data for a particular year (GPS coords, description, etc.) on a spreadsheet on Google Docs. I update it after each campsite. Accessing my yearly map automatically fetches the latest spreadsheet data and plots it. After each travel session, I merge last year's spreadsheet with my latest multi-year map spreadsheet. Since I always stay at some campgrounds I've been to already, I have to eliminate dups after the merging. I then upload the updated multi-year spreadsheet to
http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ and it generates the map for me (for free). I download the map data file and then add text explaining how to use it. The all-powerful-all-knowing Google is what is ultimately displaying the map and allowing pan and zoom.
BTW, if you want the spreadsheet that generated this map, just PM me with your email address.
Ramblin' on,
