    3D viewing GPS coordinates of hike overlaid onto of USGS maps?

    I agree. Put Lithium batteries in it & leave it on. If you want to save battery life, wait to turn it on just before the area you need it the most. And always have a spare (new) set of batteries. In simple terms, are you asking if created waypoints can be uploaded from a GPS onto mapping...

    Isolation Bushwhack on 3/12 Ms. Brown's #48

    Isolation Bushwhack on 3/12 Ms. Brown's #48

    We are heading back to complete what we started back on Feb. 12th. It was just after that big storm filled the Whites back up again w/ 2-3 feet of snow. Trail breaking was very slow going and bushwhacking was, well :eek: So we decided to head back & save it for another time. Soooo close...

    Mt.Moosilauke 2/20

    For a change, I was way ahead of schedule due to the location of the Mountain. :) I decided to make a pit stop a few miles in on rt. 118 when my right front tire sunk 2 feet in a snow covered shoulder :eek: I threw the truck into 4 wheel drive & thought no problem. WRONG! It got worse. Now...

    Adventureboy, Get a 60cs. They're more $$$ because it's the better unit out of the ones you mentioned. Tom

    Flume Slide Trail

    Hey Giggy, I went up it last March. It was easier in the winter with the ice, than it was when I first did it back a few years ago, end of May w/ a full pack. The ledges were real slippery. Bring your crampons & 2 ice axes, & have fun! :) Tom

    Monroe 2/7

    Elliot, We did go yesterday. It was, (lost for words to describe it), GREAT! How's that? We parked up at the Cog (Marshfield Station, the original trailhead). Park off to the right. I've heard all kinds of stories re: parking??? Just be courteous & quiet and go about your business. Tom

    Madison conditions?

    Darl58 Not sure, but I was on Jackson Mon. & IMO I would bring crampons & poles if you use them. Snow was disappearing from our scan of the area. I'm also assuming your taking the Valley Way Tr. If your coming in from the Mad. Gulf Tr. You'll probably want 1 or 2 ice axes as well, but...

    Change Jackson to Mon. 1/31

    Due to the last minute posting I'm changing it to Mon. instead of Sat. for going up Mt. Jackson. It's not that long of a trip & we could even start @ 9:00 if that's ok. Let me know if your interested? The pace will be moderate, with enough stops to adjust & enjoy. If weather is favorable...
