Colorado 24K GPS Topos Change Log

• New from scratch Public lands layer, with both more current and higher precision data more

• Added all Colorado Ski Lifts and Trams with a custom lift line type more

• Added last mile routes for all Fourteeners more

• Added Names/Numbers for the Roosevelt/Arapaho National Forest Trails

• Added BLM trails in many areas of the state, including Handies, Redcloud & Sunshine more

• Improved the custom route line appearance

• Changed from 15 x 15 min map segments to 30 x 30 min segments more

• Raised all lakes so you see them at all but the base map level

• Fixed a dozen random errors in the GMU border lines

• Added Rapids as a river area feature with a unique pattern

• Large canals, those with a bank-to-bank extent, now show in the ditch color

• Works with Garmin Bascamp v3.0 or later

• Added Macintosh support

• Explicit level definition instead of default. Most object types have been explicitly defined to improve the map viewing experience both in Mapsource and your small screen GPS receiver. Some objects (POIs, ditches, intermittent streams) have been pushed down to reduce clutter, whereas other objects (lakes, secondary roads, trails) have been moved up such that you'll see them sooner.

• Minor road definition to show back-road continuity

• Added DOW GMU Borders for the entire state more

• Added over one hundred miles of custom roads, trails and routes not available in federal databases

• Improved road shielding where highways with numeric designations were labeled with local names

• Intermittent streams now show as a long-dashed line

• Trail names added for the Rio Grande National Forest

• Duplicate trails from overlapping forest data have been eliminated

• Last mile roads added to existing road set, these are shown and labeled as 4WD roads

• Abandoned roads in federal wilderness areas have been deleted

• Some line types which showed on your GPS but not in Mapsource, now show in both

• Improved capitalization, Garmin always uses lower case for the second and subsequent letters. For instance: BLM is shown by Garmin as Blm, to correct this BLM is now most commonly shown as B L M. Not perfect but better.
