I have done this a lot in DeLorme Topo, where I pull a bunch of tracks in from the web and then manual plot an aggregate route. Tedious. The result is only as good as tedious you want to make it. In areas where there is low density of trails, I place infrequent way points, as you just can't go off track.

Have you tried this? I was wondering what the user experience would be like using it on the actual trail. I would think that you would at least be able to get a general sense of direction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02107074382982150273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082954078864845206.post-13289065169730683182014-10-21T07:44:08.791-04:002014-10-21T07:44:08.791-04:00its all legal - a hike a bike section along North ...its all legal - a hike a bike section along North Sugarloaf though to the trail you found. The riding north of where you were is good. If you're motivated enough you can connect the Greenfield ridge all the way to Factory Hollow - Gill - Northfield Mt. I'm not sure that I'd try to do it without having someone who knew where they ere going.

Only when a trail was defined in the base map under the heat tracks did it follow. The other quirk is auto-follow did some strange things in urban areas. It would link through parking lots. So why would it take shortcuts like that but not follow hundreds of GPS tracks?Hill Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901432169252097296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082954078864845206.post-62941420455287501512014-10-20T18:23:08.463-04:002014-10-20T18:23:08.463-04:00better riding in the area - connect.garmin.com/mod...better riding in the area - connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/180125212<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5082954078864845206.post-24929130601452831212014-10-20T10:01:35.085-04:002014-10-20T10:01:35.085-04:00Nice ride and route!

Or did you have to manually click hundreds of points to roughly follow the trail? I've never had luck getting it to auto trace on trails...but maybe with a premium subscription it does?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
