Northwest Trails v1.61 Released – Now with More BC!

It’s been a busy month!  This release marks one of the the biggest additions of data that Northwest Trails has ever seen.  Perhaps the most significant change is a wealth of data in the North Vancouver, BC, area gleaned from Garmin Connect courtesy of Simoneyes.  We are now starting to see BC fill in a [...]

New Releases of Northwest Trails and Northwest Topos

Summer has finally hit the Pacific Northwest and that has spurred an uptick in data submissions.   With GeoWoodstock VIII and the Groundspeak Lost & Found Celebration occupying a good amount of my time lately, I haven’t had a chance to update the mapsets until now, so there is a lot of new data to be [...]

Updates to Northwest Trails and Northwest Topos Today

New Releases of Northwest Trails and Northwest Topos Today

As many of you are aware, Northwest Trails has never displayed properly in Garmin’s BaseCamp software, and with the new release of MapSource 6.16.1, it was failing to display properly there as well.  This was due to changes in the way that Garmin was handling the preview map in the software.  Well, after some trial-and-error [...]

I’ll start with Northwest Topos, since the most significant changes have happened there.  Coverage for Washington is now complete with the addition of many new tiles [...]

Two New Versions of Beta Mapsets Posted

I’ve posted new versions of a couple of mapsets today: Northwest Topos It’s been a while since I’ve updated this mapset, although I’ve not lacked a desire to do so.  If all goes well I will have Washington State complete (and the mapset out of “beta” status) within a month.  This update adds a few [...]

Northwest Topos Early Beta Finally Available!

I finally got the initial cut at Northwest Topos posted. I’m sorry it took so long; every time that I generated it, I ran into some issue that I wanted to fix before releasing. I finally decided that I just needed to post it anyways or I’d never get it out! Please keep in mind [...]
