When I downloaded the original version I noticed some spurious lines that reaked havack on my GPS screen and ArcMAP alike. Since then I have gone in and broken some of the joins so that there are no more crazy lines. There are now Three main tracks. I named them 1, 2, and 3. They start from the Southern Terminus and continue North, however there are a couple places that no longer cover the trail but they are a couple hundred feet at most....not too bad. If anyone can get these tracks to join to form one track without the extra lines please feel free to and tell me how you did it!

Here is the link for GPS Utility, a free program that I use to edit Spatial Information.

I'd rather see more tracks, with about 500-750 per track, since my garmin won't accept tracks with more that 750, and i'm still trying to learn to edit....

Do you have the Mapsource Top program? I used that to edit out track legs so I could import only the trail sections I need into my Garmin Legend.

I learned by trial and error; cut out a section of track "legs", see where there appeared on a map, try again until I found the sections I needed.

Hi, I've just bought an Explorist 400 and now am attempting to climb the learning curve. It has been a tough climb so far. I've downloaded the gps files here but have had no luck in loading them. Do you know if the files can be imported into magellan's explorist 400? Do they need to be coverted? Anyone out there will an Explorist?

Thanks for posting a track of the Sheltowee. The attachment to this post simply divides the track into four segments. My Garmin device truncates tracks with more than 500 points.
