Chibougamau,Waswanipi,Clova and Matagami.. Thank,Greg... 83 West of Clova had no signs what so ever last year due to a reroute. We left lac Fallion to head to clova last year was supposed to be 100 miles ended up at 140miles my mach z made it, the Apex in our group ran out at 133, the 600 Renagade ran out 100 yards from Clova. Thanks to spare gas on sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpionbowl Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Like Jackstraw said, it's all different around Clova, other than that, the trails follow the map, at least for the loop I did. It's an excellent loop, conditions are great except for sections of 83. Here's my gps track [in yellow] with the FCMQ trails from 2009 overlayed in google earth...[also, notice the reroute around Lac Edouard, that was horrible] [ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask how you get the trails to show up in Google Earth- in the correct colors no less? Did you buy this as a package? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpionbowl Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Like your blog. May I ask how you get the trails to show up in Google Earth- in the correct colors no less? Did you buy this as a package?Thanks Thanks. It's all free on the FCMQ site. You'll see the google earth download here... FCMQ Google Earth Link Open that file from google earth and you're all set. Importing your gps track is another chore, email me if you need help... Edited October 29, 2009 by scorpionbowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorpionbowl Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Forgive my ignorance Scorpionbowl but can you actually get a trails download for your GPS ?Gary Yes you can. It's easiest if you have a Garmin. See this thread for starters... Trails on a GPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnomoGary Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yes you can. It's easiest if you have a Garmin. See this thread for starters...Trails on a GPS We have a TomTom (more popular over here than Garmin). Will check to see if there is a US/Canadian TomTom site with info on Trail maps. Any other info on this would be appreciated as a trail map for us would be invaluable. Thanks Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I have successfully gotten our groups tracks into KMLs. If I run into other snags I'll know where to turn. Any body seen RWS on the boards lately. I wonder how out of date the trails are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marryfoxgirl Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 We are aware of this work. Richard has provided us with a patch and we are evaluating this. It is likely not to be included in the RC, not that we dont like it, but because we are closing down on RC and dont want to add major changes. We are not conclusive on this one, as said we are evaluating this one atm. _______________________________________ Website I developed for online cash advance company.
