That was a fun trail. I hope to run it in the future. Thanks for the coordinates, Paul.

Pioneer Mine Area Waypoints


I deleted many of the tracks to cut the file size, but with my images aboveI should still make sense?
Anyway the critical junctions are shown along with the tracks close to the mine area.

Thanks once again, Paul. What software program do you use to manage these files and waypoints?

It is a PITA for composite result. I use trackmaker (free) which will merge tracks from various formats and convert the result to other formats I choose.

I load many tracks into Trackmaker then break the trails so I can delete many trails and still have some sense of what I am trying to depict.
Trial and error to get a file small enough for Nomad. Each time I save my trial to a KML and check the size.
My first version I had deleted the main track past the mine deleted, no wonder the file was so small.
Remember I make tracks using Lowrance or Inreach (usually both) and all my tracks have a huge number of track points. This Is the reason I no longer publish GPX files as they are way huge.

Of course I leave the WPs at places where I deleted the tracks for completeness.
This means the user can click on the GE WP for coords. For other WPs zoom in on GE to find intersections of the shown tracks. Any track shown can be saved on GE to get a KML for that track. But then Trackmaker or other SW can be used to make a GPS track. The pitfall of this is the large file when creating a GPX file.
