Trak Maps

Hey Guys\Gals

I have used the Trak Maps in the past and felt they were very good. I have been using the Biscuit Maps for the past few years due to the limited area we were riding in and the fact I break\lose\run-over\freeze the GPSes on a regular basis. 

This years Ebay'd 2757 (Newer Firmware?) did not read the map correctly and nothing i did would get it to work right, it looked like the Biscuit ones were broken lines and No-Hair, Jack and I could have used it once or twice on the last ride to get a bearing on the trail. 

I followed the Banner to Trak Maps and in 15 Minutes it was all fixed and looks great.

The trailz are smooth and appear correctly even when zoomed in.

So recommending them over the Biscuit ones is a no brainer, for at least one rider in the group. The cost was 49.00 and is an electronic download for returning customers.

As a bonus they support the site.

Gutz I downloaded the biscuit map and I had the same result broken lines etc. I am running windows 10 on my main computer and it won't allow me to download the biscuit map so I went to one of my older computers with windows 7 and it worked like a charm! LOL I use trak maps for the NB trails and I agree a great product.

The problem is the latest version of Basecamp. I had the same issue. Uninstall 4.7 Reinstall 4.62 or older. Make sure the mapinstall program uninstalls as well. if not uninstall it. Reinstall 4.62, that will install older mapinstall program. Then you have to uninstall your 3rd party maps from gps. reboot it,  install the maps you want. Then just say no to basecamp updates.     https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=62468
