Version 1.57 – Jan 26, 2018

NH, ME, VT, NY, QC, MN, MB

This is a major feature release impacting all our Garmin snowmobile trail maps, and or Snowmobile trail maps of OsmAnd on android devices.

The map now includes searchable named places map points, and a custom POI file for Garmin units.

Named places include things like cities, towns, villages, hamlets, islands, suburbs, and perhaps more. Place name show up nicely as annotated text over the map that scales with population size and zoom levels on OsmAnd. They show up in Garmin BaseCamp and MapSource as icons. Search by spelling the name is most likely to find places you know the name of such as towns.

Access to custom poi files can be found using WHERE TO – EXTRAS – CUSTOM POI – SNOWMOBILE XX Places (where XX is replaced by the state or province abbreviation).
The list returned may be distance limited. To increase your chanced of finding a place, use the SPELL button.

Place names are stored on the trail map, so they can be searched independent of whether you have a basemap enabled.

Use of the custom POI file seems to be more able to find smaller population places like small towns than does search for cities on Garmins.

Version 1.15 Released 1/31/2012

Auto routing is now supported in Garmin MapSource and BaseCamp, as well as in your GPS. The routing trail maps can be combined with any non-routing map for download to your GPS. Use the routing tool to create custom routes, document your favorite trail loop or extended trips, and then download them to your GPS. There is now only a single version of all maps, and they all route. Using Mapsource, you can view a list of turn by turn directions, and calculate mileage along snowmobile trails. Occasionally you may see a route take an unexpected path, one that seems like the long way around. This is usually caused by a trail not being actually connected. Zoom in real close and see if you see a break in the trail line. Even a microscopic break will cause the route to be avoided. You can route over this manually for a short distance to complete the route. Simply create a new routing point just past where the line is broken Please mark the break location with a waypoint, save it in a .gpx file and email it to us. This will assist us in eliminating these hard to find defects. Interstate routing is not supported because the trails between states overlap but do not actually intersect. To plan an interstate ride, route to the state border, draw a small off-road route segment over the line break and then continue auto routing to destination. This can be done in your GPS or with MapSource.

For those wishing to use the routing trail map in conjunction with a routing highway map while driving, MapSource has a switch that allows you to disable download of routing data with the trail map. Look on the bottom left hand side of the screen when you have selected maps to download. You can still view the snowmobile trails while you are being routed by highway. A fun way to find out where trails are near the highways you drive!

The pink route indicator shows up better now below a trail. You may have to zoom in a bit closer if it is a very long route. Zoom in and out quickly to make it flash for a short time while the map is being redrawn. After a snowmobile route is calculated, you can shut off the snowmobile trail map and still see the pink route clearly all by itself. Once a snowmobile trail route is calculated, you can turn on routing highway maps to view them as you ride. You will still be routeed by snowmobile trail until you complete the route or stop routing. Turn off any routing highway maps before you calculate the next trail route, or it will route you by highway. Routes downloaded from MapSource, must be imported into your GPS using GPS commands. Consult your GPS documentation.

Several types of map points, (gas, food, hotels) are automatically translated to searchable POI’s. They are organized as the defaults are for your GPS model, not in the same fashion as they are in the Custom POI tables.

New automation allows us to turn around trail changes very quickly. Send us your trail changes, names, POI’s etc and we will get them back to you in an updated map quickly.

Maps in Apple Macintosh format have been retired. Too much manual labor for too few sales. We will continue to support existing customers. New distribution of updates on micro-sd and swaps should allow Mac users to get updates
