Hat Trick of New Releases Today
I’ve been busy updating various mapsets during the past month and am ready to release new versions of three of them: Northwest Trails, Northwest Snow Trails, and Northwest Topos!
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 since version 0.04. Perhaps more significant is the fact that I’ve abandoned the idea of using 40′ contour intervals for all tiles. As I worked on more and more tiles (especially those covering the Columbia Plateau), it became clear that 40′ was simply too great an interval for many areas. I am now in the process of converting all tiles to follow the intervals seen on the USGS 7.5-minute topo maps of the same areas. Thus, for relatively flat areas you will see 10′ contours, while for in-between areas (like the Puget Sound lowlands and foothills), you will see 20′ intervals. Only the most mountainous areas will use 40′ intervals. The conversion process will take some time, so for now you will see a mish-mash of converted and unconverted tiles.
Here’s a full list of the changes in this version of Northwest Topos:
