In combination with Awol's Guide and National Geo maps, it has been rather useful in plotting checkpoints and re supply. Also helped in breaking down the trail into numerous reasonable sections rather than huge distances between points.
I am planning my thru hike for 2018. I wrote down every bubble on the map with all the starting-ending points, the mileage and the avg. grade. It made me aware of the different points along the way, and will help me plan my hike. Thanks wordstew!
It’s useful for route planning, but needs to be used with a topo map (physical or elec.) to really figure resupplies because pace varies over terrain. Water info has been accurate where I’ve used it in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Looked to me like the info was lifted directly from Guthook.
