Hey Sly good catch on the Birches Shelter information shown. The trail tracks and shelter data is at least 5 years old, so keep that in mind. I personally wouldn't hike on the AT without also...

OK I finished compiling these offline maps I've been rambling about, thread here: http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/showthread.php?91126-Free-offline-AT-topo-maps-for-Android

Another Kevin, I think...

OK, finally got the trail data assembled and ready for download! I made a page on my own site so I can more easily manage it:

Great to hear from you! I actually just got all the data from TopOSM project. For the whole AT trail. I did a two layer download - features and contours down to zoom 13. The relief data was too...

Great news, got all the AT topo maps downloaded from an alternative tile source. I have them in OruxMaps format. Will post those files soon. If you need maps in a different format for a different...

Yeah, instructions given at the start of thread won't work anymore because TerraServer and other mapsources which provided the important topographic line data have been yanked. Had a setback, am...

I have decided I will soon make all the AT topo maps in the OruxMaps format. These maps will have topo lines, colored elevation relief, and standard features such as roads, towns, rivers, etc. The...

Helllllllllllllllllo. Trying to get back on the trail in 2013 for another section hike. Tried using Mobile Atlas Creator (MOBAC) again since it worked so well last time on my Android phone with the...

I don't think the snakes are overblown since every person I talk to who has hiked PA or adjacent states has almost stepped on one! But no one seems to get bit so why do I bother crying about snakes....

Hey I might be going down there that time of year, from the Twin Cities. However my entry point is a little farther north near Roanoke. I'm NOBO as usual and I've already hiked from Springer to...

Rocks just take a different technique. I learned alot when I was in the Nepalese Himalaya a few years back, by watching the locals carrying 120lb loads wearing usually cheap 99-cent rubber...

Hi. I thought I should report back that this method worked splendidly in the field! I did a 250 mile section during April in southern VA. I brought an HTC EVO 4G android phone. I swapped the battery...

OK Lone Wolf I shall message you, great! The greyhound leaves Lynchburg in the morning, brings you to Marion around 12:30 pm. I think it was $31 advance purchase. I am going to crash in Lynchburg for...

Did some more digging ... just found a good deal on an Amtrak train from NYC to Lynchburg, then I can bus cheaply over to Marion. I am looking for a shuttle pickup from Marion to Damascus on March...

Thanks Vamelungeon. I called greyhound since their website didn't list Abingdon, and they no longer service that town. The closest town now appears to be Marion. Is anyone available for hire to...

Hello. I am starting a month long NOBO hike starting in Damascus. I am leaving NYC around March 30th. I can take a chinatown bus and get cheaply to Washington DC. Past there I don't know what I'm...

I'd like to think of them as switchbacks, not curves :) Can't wait to get on the trail so I can play with my Android. I downloaded a toilet paper app so I can wipe my ass with it too.

Yah sure! I'm not sure if mytracks was one of the ones I had tried before oruxmaps. I would be curious to hear back if other android junkies find another method or app that has good looking maps that...
