DesertDawg's Desert Maps

Post by DesertDawg »

I have just added a map I have created of Sweihan West which shows Gatch/Fences/NoGo areas to my Montana thread.

http://www.ad4x4.com/club/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17795

It is transparent and overlays Birdseye. Here is a sample:

Hope you like it.

Hi Dave, I think the map specific comments should be here?

Ok, this is really very good job, I opened the map on my Montana & I know the area very well.. The gatch roads, the fences & farms looks pretty accurate & it will be of great help to anyone driving in Sweihan!

I started by drafting a few gatches in the same area sometime ago, but it is nowhere near the amount of details you provided.. Really good job from a person who thought to do something like that but was too lazy to do real progress :P

Need help in drafting other areas? :D

Hello David,

Is there a way to get the overlay map to show up on base camp and then transfer to my eTrex 30?

Thanks.
