WV ATV Trails 4.0

Thanks a lot for your maps. You've been a great help to me and a whole lot of us who ride up there around the Wagon Wheel area.

Thank you now if I can figure out how to load all this in the gps

Thanks this will be very helpful for us out of staters

Just to let you guys know, that there are more trails than whats on those maps. These maps help out those who are getting into riding the Outlaw trails and or want to ride something other than the Hatfield trails. I've used BobTs maps for over a year now and they are great. You will realize that there are lots of untracked trails inside of the trails that he's got tracked on his maps. So get out there and explore! Its endless up there.

Cool deal! Thanks for sharing!

Same boat here. Have the GPS & the maps but couldn't figure out how to get those 2 & myself on the same page....

Below is a link to gpsfiledepot's Tutorials on Garmins software and Loading maps onto your GPS unit.

Thanks Bob!

I think Bob goes back and delete's trails that either have a dead end or are on Posted property. Bob could probably elaborate, but I know he edit's his maps before he publishes them.

Yes, I do a lot of editing and cleaning up of tracks. I delete all double backs, stops, segments less than 10 ft, etc. There are more tracks that could be added but at some point it becomes too cluttered. For those of you who don't have a Garmin GPSr I will post up instrucions on how to use my maps on an Android phone. Works pretty darn well.

You the Man Bob T

Using them on my phone would be awesome! Save me from buying a new gps

Any idea if these will load onto a lower Nuvi model? I have a 255w. I know alot of guys run the 500. This would keep me from buying a new GPS too. Thanks in advance!

Yes they will bud. I did it a while back on one.

Sweet! Thanks man!

Does this actually work with the cell phone in wv since there is basically no phone service

Yes, it should work. The lack of cell service is why this App and others allow you to cache (download) maps onto you cell phone. This is what the "Offline Maps" is for. Even though the phone service does not work your GPS still works since it is receiving its signal from the GPS satellites and not cell towers. Some older phones may need the cell service to work since the cell tower tells the GPS generally where you are so it knows what satellites to look for.

Bob, you don't have any Bergoo maps do you?

I wish I could just download Hump's brain to my gps.

No, I have never ridden Bergoo and no one who has seems to have tracks or will share them. I do have a lot for East Lynn and I think I have a lot of the new HM Ivy Branch system. I will be riding both of those at the end of March and will release a new map with those trails on it.

BobT, would you please give me a call concerning your maps and down loads.Would have pm you but being new here,and not enough posts it would not let me.cell 336-908-7676 call any time am local.

I just bought a nuvi 500, I was having trouble getting it to work with mapsource and windows, etc.
Windows was out of date, gps software out of date...somewhere along the way I got ready to fix it all with a sledge hammer. Calmed down and ate dinner and started looking at map info on gps and it showed I somehow loaded wv 4.0 maps on it, will this work?
I was updating my wifes nuvi 1300 and when done I clicked on mapuploader and loaded the wv 4.0 maps on it too, will they work on it too?

Yes, it will work on both. You should go into the one of the setting, I think it is Navigation or Setting and change the Navigation type to Off Road. This will prevent the GPS from showing you on a nearby road if one is close by. If you notice the NUVI will always show you on the road and in the correct lane, they are not that accurate so to compensate when in driving mode they have a feature called "jump to road" where it will show you on the road.

Thanks Bobt, ready to try it out now...Thanks for all the hard work you do for all of us to enjoy.

What is the best gps to get for the area and your maps

That is a very difficult question to answer but here goes. If you just want to see trail maps and know where you are where you want to go along with the ability to have a track to follow back out I would recommend any of the Nuvi's.

A lot of people use the Nuvi 500 since it is water proof, however it has a smaller screen. I know a lot of people who are getting the 5" Nuvi's for the bigger screen. If you have it inside a SxS I don't think weather is an issue. You can always but it in an Otter Box for water proofing. Bigger screen is definitely better IMO.

The best is without a doubt the Garmin Montana. You can get the Montana 600 for around $450. They also have a 650 and 650T which have built in Topo map and a camera. Not to hurt anyone feelings who bought one of the 650's I would not buy one, I have a 600. The Topo is Garmin's 100k you can get much much better Topo's for free on the internet. The guy's I know that have the camera do not use it. I would get a stand alone camera that can be used anywhere. Just my .02 cents.

Thanks for the information.
