favarcat Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 There are 653 quebec waypoints here. Should work great with RWS's new color-coded QC trail map. http://www.mediafire.com/?2n34llc1xpn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfm Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 RFM, just go do some loops and save the tracks............we'll take it from there Will doo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rws Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 looks great. Any idea how that will look on a non color screen? Think it will translate in to shades of grey?? I currently use a GPS V. The new color coded map will display correctly ONLY on late model color Garmin units that support TYP. For non-color and older Garmin units use my other map. Be sure you have the latest version software for both your GPS and Mapsource...which can be downloaded from Garmin's website for FREE. On your V all the trails will appear as a grey line with black border...the same as how Interstate Highways appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S pump Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 RWS, thanks for the new map, it looks awesome. I also loaded the waypoints Favcat added. What do you set your User Waypoint setting at to help declutter the map? Can't wait to try this setup out next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I edited the waypoints with this one. http://www.mediafire.com/?fmg242asgva Took out some duplicates. About 100 less so it won't be as cluttered. I have my waypoints set to auto and works good there. When are you going to Lac StJean? We will be there from the 21st-26th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Rider Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Here is a kml file for google earth with many way points. I can not guarantee the accuracy of all the points so use them at your own discretion. Many have links and phone numbers attached. I hope you find them useful. http://www.mediafire.com/?4dzmm9cxyzn The file can be converted with gpsbabel for your unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mubs Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 THANKS for the Quebec trail map file RWS. I had earlier converted the KML file to tracks but your configuration with the labels etc is great. I used it on a trip two weeks ago (Lac Saguenay and Gaspe with Andyman) and it proved quite accurate. There were some new trails but even then if stuck you could figure out the proper route. I also enjoyed zooming in on the 76CX to 120-200m in the Gaspe when twisty and geing able to see big turns in the near future. Another favorite was coming to a couple of fields with a lot of sled tracks and being able to tell which corner the main trail exit was. I will attempt to overlay my tracks on your map to show the differences if anybody is interested. MUBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Here's the track file from my trip thru the Abitibi area. I've noted where the TQ83 has been rerouted. From what is found on the GPS file available from the FCMQ site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzman Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 why are these maps no good? http://www.fcmq.qc.ca/english/pages.asp?id=133 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rws Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 why are these maps no good?http://www.fcmq.qc.ca/english/pages.asp?id=133 The problem with the .kml trail file is it contains 10,600 tracks. Most Garmin GPS's have a limited amount of track storage space (generally 20 or less) making it difficult to load up any amount of trails to your GPS. That is why I made the Quebec custom trail map available on this site.

doobraap Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 RWS, Any idea if the color maps will work on a StreetPilot III? They can be had pretty cheap right now and are waterproof too. Your maps seemed to work great on my GPSV last year but I am looking for a bigger screen and color. The 276C is out of my budget right now so I was looking for a short cut. I am not really concerned with any other use for the GPS just sledding. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My map will display on the StreetPilot III but I am not sure the StreetPilot is capable of handling the TYP customization which would show the trails color coded. Have you checked eBay prices on a 276c? Edit: I found this...it does appear the StreetPilot supports TYP. Be sure to update the unit with the latest firmware. http://www.malsingmaps.com/wiki/index.php/...th_custom_types Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm working on my Quebec trail map adding trail numbers and color coding the trails as trans-Quebec, regional or local.I've got the western 1/3 done...trans-Quebec trails will be blue/white border with square shaped floating trail numbers, regional trails will be green/white border with rounded shaped floating trail numbers and local trails will be magenta/white border. Here's a screenshot from a 276c showing how it will look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longriderss Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi Rich, I pm'd rws yesterday to see what the most current quebec trail map was. Looks like I am joining the group of GPS users. Just purchased the Nuvi 550. It's waterproof and good down to -20 degrees C. Touch screen and is capable of routes. $264.00 off the net. I'll let you know if and when I get a response from RWS. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old one would show the trails? Thanks GutZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
