| I have just made a new WV ATV map (WV ATV Trails 2015). I have added many trails around War, WV and a few around Gilbert. I changed the color/difficulty coding of several trails. All most all tracks are accurate to within 15 feet.
When you go to the gpsfiledepot download page you will see two links where you can download the files and instructions to load this map on the Android Apps “OruxMaps” and “BackCountry Navigator”. I prefer OruxMaps slightly over BCN. Orux is free so try it.

| One day I am going to take the time and learn how to load these maps. Will these maps work with a Garmin Nuvi 500? | |

| The Garmin file will work on any Garmin GPS. In your case you will need to install Garmin's free program "Mapsource". Instructions on how to get it are included in the download. It can be intimidating at first. | |

| Both, but mostly trails. The Magenta colored trails are paved roads.
Color Coding scheme is below. It was downloaded to your PC during the install. Not on Mac's
Green - Easy Blue - Medium Red or Black - Difficult (Experienced riders only) Red and Black - Most Difficult (Very experienced riders only, winches & ropes) Magenta - Major Paved or Hardtop Roads Green and Red - Haul Road (Coal truck hauling road, riding is discouraged) Green and Blue - Major trails between popular destinations (Stairs to Bud, Hilltop to HMP-16, Pizza Hut to War, Barkers Creek to Burning Rock, 9-Mile Creek By-Pass, HMIR Connector to Stairs) Yellow and Cyan - Boundaries of Twin Falls State Park, Camp Creek State Park, East Lynn Lake, and Kiah Creek Color Coding of tracks is subjective and trail conditions can change due to time, weather, and logging. Color Coding is to be used only as a general guideline, know your limitations and never ride alone. Hatfield McCoy and Burning Rock Trails are Dashed Lines as well as Colored. Hatfield McCoy and Burning Rock Trails are colored and numbered per trail systsem maps. | |

| for android you need the app installed first, back county navigator or Orux. I use BCN.....save the file to your phone....then you need to know where it is on your phone....open the bcn app and point it at the file you downloaded.......if you plan on using your phone in locations where you dont have service you will need to download some topo files for the area you plan to ride also...which you can find for free on the net also.... | |

| On your computer you need to download the file below. You just click on the setup file and it will install it on your computer just like any other program. You will need Garmin's Basecamp or Mapsource to view the map on your computer. Unless you have a Garmin GPS I highly recommend using Mapsource.

To install on your Android device you need to get the following downloads. You need to unzip the files before you put them in the directories that are mentioned.

| The BCN files are only for your tablet. You have to download the Garmin files. Just click on the install file and it will install it onto your PC. During the install you can check a box that will copy the original track files onto your computer. Take note of what directory they are copied to.
You can download a WV Topo map from GpsFileDepot and have that as your background map and show the tracks on top of it.
Basecamp will only allow you to display one map at a time. You can view my map but you won't have a topo behind it.
Link to Map is below.

| Hey Bob, My maps on BCN have the Track Names plastered all over the screen for some reason. maybe like everytime there was a breadcrumb or something, it "dropped" the track name there. It really junks up the screen. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? Thanks! | |

| It hasn't always been like this has it? I will look into it. Do you know how to look at the list of tracks and don't have multiples in the list. | |

| This is just the tracks that I have recently made and added, not your maps. I went in and deleted the Track Name in the track list and just moved the name down to the Track Description and it has fixed it. Seems like a temp fix, but looks much better. Thanks! | |
