I don't know about the other maps, but I do know that the National Geographic Society has produced a revised 2007 map of the Smokies (GSMNP). I recently saw it at a local outfitter.

P.S. It now includes the BMT.

I attached a Doc file with the trail data from 2007, in an easy-to-read format. It took me 5 pages to go from Amicalola to Fontana, including the legend page.

(1.3 MB, if that matters.) Permission given to all to use for whatever purpose strikes you, commercial or non. :)

Edit: SGT Rock had an article that tied together all of the disparate parts of a BMT guide/map setup. Does anyone remember where that one is? Thanks!

Edit2: I put a headings line on each page and put the legend of abbreviations on the final page as a separate page.

INPUT AND (sensible, serious) CRITICISM REQUESTED!!

timing was perfect. i got my map bundle in the mail saturday. this will help me put them in order. any ideas on mail drops for these. im not planning on leaving the trail june.

When I compiled the list last year, I used the info based on what the ATC listed. I just checked and ATC still lists the other GSMNP map.

I'm going to update the map list soon and will post here. Looks like a couple of new maps are coming out January 2008.

Does anyone else with vista have a problem opening this up? After I download it to my computer and try to open it up is says that the file may be corrupt.

Printed out fine using my VISTA system.....:)

I'm still having problems opening up this file. Does anyone know what this mesage means and how I can fix it?
"Works cannot open ____________. The file may be in use by another application, the file format may not be supported by any of the installed converters, or the file may be corrupt."

Possibility 1:
MS Works is not MS Word & there may be a problem in translating the file.

Solution 1:
Try to open the .doc from w/i your WordPad application (accessible on your program menu-- used to be under the Accessories folder in XP, don't know about vista).

Solution 2:
Use free word processing software from openoffice.org @ http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.1/contribute.html?product=OpenOffice.org&os=winwjre&lang=en-US&version=2.3.1 which should have current convertors.

Solution 3:
Update the convertors in MS Works (somewhere on Microsoft's site; blech).

Possibility 2:
The file is marked as 'in use' by the OS.

Solution 1:
Restart the computer & try to open again.

Possibility 3:
The file did not download properly and is corrupt.

Solution 1:
Download again and open.

My bet is on the first scenario. I would first try to open w/ WordPad. Your system probably defaults to MS works, which means you will need to open WordPad and then either drag n drop the .doc there or open the doc by selecting 'open' and then locating the file's location on your machine.

Thanks for helping me out, nomad. The openoffice software opened up the file with no problems.

I descended the order of the list for SOBO, if this helps anybody.

Guide set updates are in progress for GA-NC, Central VA, and NH-VT.

Will update the list after the updates are available.
