sledjunk Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Try looking in the GPS Forum http://forum.ontarioconditions.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=26 There is a wealth of information there as a start. The Garmin Trail Maps that Reved puts together are quite good so I would suggest that you look at the various Garmin models as a start. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
