I would like to section hike the MDTS this coming year. It is just short of 200 miles. There are old maps, but there does not appear to be GPS files. Since much of the trail is not hiked often it is difficult to follow at times and a GPS map would be helpful for later doing a through hike of the trail, and could be made available to other hikers.
I have no GPS unit today other than what is in my phone. Is there a consumer grade GPS that could track the trail as I hike it? or is this outside the scope of a amateur product? Any suggested models? Could I edit out mistakes where I get lost? What is a good source to learn how to create such a GPS file?
Thanks.
