Release notes:

1.  These maps were updated on August 16, 2014.

Legal stuff:

The forest service didn't make the map.  Don't complain to them if something is screwed up.  Always compare this map to the official MVUM to make sure I didn't screw something up.  Always have a current paper copy of the MVUM with you while riding.  I make no guarantee as to the accuracy of any of the data in the map.

Sawtooth Forest:

  • Data extracted from the Idaho Trails website several years ago and compared against the ERSI shape file provided by the Region 4 Geospatial Data site.

  • All data verified again the official MVUM - I'm human and there might be mistakes though.

Boise National Forest:

  • Data originally acquired from the Idaho Trails  website and migrated into Basecamp, but I recently deleted the data and started over with new data extracted from the ERSI shape file provided by the Boise National Forest.

  • All data verified again the official MVUM - I'm human and there might be mistakes though.

Caribou-Targhee National Forest:

  • Data extracted the Caribou-Targhee geodatabase and then processed by My Geodata Converter.  Data was then dumped into Garmin Basecamp and then sorted by forest location, files named after comparing the track with the MVUM and the Idaho Trails website.  Data may contain errors such as wrong trail numbers due to typo errors.  I would have used the ERSI Shape File, but the data has not been provided by the Forest Service yet.  When I am able to get the data, I will tag the roads appropriatly.

  • All data verified again the official MVUM - I'm human and there might be mistakes though.

Salmon-Challis National Forest

  • Data extracted the Caribou-Targhee geodatabase and then processed by My Geodata Converter.  Data was then dumped into Garmin Basecamp and then sorted by forest location, files named after comparing the track with the MVUM and the Idaho Trails website.  Data may contain errors such as wrong trail numbers due to typo errors.  I would have used the ERSI Shape File, but the data has not been provided by the Forest Service yet.  When I am able to get the data, I will tag the roads appropriatly.

  • All data verified again the official MVUM - I'm human and there might be mistakes though.

Payette National Forest

  • No ERSI Shape File data available.  When it is, I will include this forest on the map as well.

Directions

  1. Download the file you need.

  2. Run the Windows executable and follow the directions to install it.  On the Mac file, open the ZIP file and do whatever you normally do (I don't have a Mac at home, sorry)

  3. Open BaseCamp, and in your map list you find it in the list of map products.

  4. Now, once the map is in BaseCamp, transfer it to your GPS like you would transfer any map to it (inside BaseCamp, go to Maps - Install Maps, etc...)

  5. If you download and install a newer version of this map in BaseCamp, you also have to transfer the new map to your GPS.  I would suggest deleting the map from the GPS and then reinstall the new one.
