Trail Maps for Ontario - Download to GPS
« on: December 23, 2009, 02:07:55 PM »
Check out this website for downloadable trail maps for Ontario.  It includes the Voyageur Hiking Trail up our way and the Bruce Trail in Southern Ontario and many others.  Unfortunately at this time they are only for Garmin Units.  I need to correct this regarding Garmin.  Several people including "Kieth Watson" have been working on the link to Magellan, see the Groundspeak discussion link below.

http://trailmaps.torontogeocaching.com/

I have downloaded the file onto my Oregon 200.  The trails show up great on the GPS.  I was particularly looking for the downloadable trail map for the Bruce Trail in Southern Ontario.  But it also gives the trails up here.

This would be particularly useful for anyone who wants to try for my "Picnic Table Lookout Cache".  It shows the trails right up to the Picnic Table, which you can actually see on Google Earth.

The trails can also be downloaded into Google Earth.

This was been some great work undertaken from "northernpenguin"  They are continuously updating this program as well.

Here is the link for the discussion under Groundspeak:

This just adds an additional feature for our geocaching and finding trails


Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Geocaching

Jim

I see that

That is the only link that I know of.

I will look in the forum for OGA and see what I can find and repost

I just realised that I have the Trail maps file downloaded in my PC.

I'll send them to go by e-mail

Here's the message from Northernpengiun regarding the problem with the website.

Yup. Motherboard went toast in that server, so I'm in the progress of moving it over to my other webserver now. It'll be back soon ... hoping to get everything up and running properly in the next few hours.
