Success with Avenza offline mapping app (1 Viewer)

[Fast Eddy]

Up in Truckee after Rubithon, we met a kind USFS fire fighter who opened the closed-on-Sunday office to get us some national forest maps. He also recommended the Avenza app and showed us how to download the maps off their site, here:

It worked pretty well, and kept us navigating a bunch of little unmarked fire roads between Truckee and Bowman Lake via Webber Lake Falls. I look forward to hooking up from the path of this trip west to Forest City, NW to Downieville and north to Bassetts, all on dirt.

I use Motion X GPS and their offline maps download feature. I like the Motion X Terrain maps. I have sever GPX files that Highlight certain trails that I've done. You can also import other GPX files to highlight trails too. I've been looking for a site or forum where people can share their GPX files for others to download.

Last weekend we came down from Bassetts and I went out Henness Pass Rd from Jackson Meadows Reservoir to Forest City, so I've now covered 4/6 of the major routes in this block of Tahoe National Forest. It would be a great place to hold a WRC race. Less fun with leaf springs.
