OfflineI notice that there is a google map on this site showing the smith creek trail. I am wondering if you could publish the kml file for this map. In fact, maybe you should have a section where kml files can be uploaded. I have mapped out my favorite route on knox using my garmin forerunner and have used a program I found on the web to convert it to kml, I could upload that. Maybe some other people have done the same. I think there is another freely available program to convert kml to garmin, so a user could download a kml from this site and load it into his garmin and go riding.
Google Earth Plus is $20, and you can upload from your Garmin directly to the program that way.
Or you can just set your Garmin to log the tracks as gpx files, which the free version of GE reads no problem at all.
There's no plan to develop a gps community type site. That's a pretty big job unto itself (check out TrailPeak.com for stuff like that). Once we get our mapping stuff further along, there will be some more in depth mapping on the site for sure. There's a lot of things to be worked out before we start sharing that info though. Costs, whether it willl be provided for free, copyright stuff, land management stuff, etc etc etc etc…..
