I am trying to put a map of the country together on google maps with hiking trails. I know g.m. has the trimble outdoors option, but it isn't doing what I want. Does anyone have trail info I can import into google maps?

Thanks
Asher

That is exactly what I am looking for. Do you know how I can import those trails into google earth? My ultimate goal is to have a map of the United States in google earth with all national scenic trails outlined so I can really zoom in. I have looked all over and can't find out how to do what I need in google earth.

I honestly don't know how you could do it yourself. You can zoom in really well on the trails on that map; could you just use that, or do you need to make your own for a project or something?

It isn't for a project or anything, I just found some other maps online that were very cluttered and not very helpful

I don't know, man, I've found that link to be very useful. It seems to have everything you'd want.
