The maps below were generated using the GPX tracks from my rather venerable Garmin Oregon 450 GPS. I've been using it since 2010 or so and can't complain about its durability. I use Topofusion software which overlays the GPX track data on USGS topographic maps, making it easy to record the exact route used on a given peak. The main map is a pretty large file, a bit over seven meg, and would best be printed on B-size (11x17) paper. The map with the overview out to U.S. Highway 6 shows the Queen Canyon Road marked in yellow. That's not from a GPX track but is just edited by hand, following the road on the topo map. The map of our warmup hike is there for your amusement as it's certainly not part of the climb. The .gpx files are the raw data out of the GPS. Most Garmin GPS units should load any of these and (if it is a unit with maps) will display the track on the map in the unit. The .gpx files won't display cleanly in your browser, so just download the file onto your computer to transfer to your GPS unit. |
