| Welcome to the home page of Western
Maps. We are in business to bring to you relatively
current (others are not), topographical trail maps
or other data. Trail data in "electronic" form
can be expected to be relatively accurate to better
than a scale of 1:1,000. That is, you can zoom in
very close to get detail not available in a 1:24,000
scale map. The intent is to bring you more detailed
and more accurate maps than you've probably ever
used before for hiking, mountain biking, or
horseback riding, etc. Other data is in the form of waypoints and tracks. Tracks are polylines usually representing trails, roads, or routes. They may be downloaded into GPS receivers as a form of map. Waypoints are point locations that may also be downloaded into GPS receivers. |

Some sample map screens on Garmin 76 series receivers are provided here.
The naming convention for waypoints: Waypoint Name Format
This gives an explanation of the codes used in naming waypoints. Updated August 16, 2005
We have created some custom waypoint symbols for Garmin receivers that support them. Most of the symbols are intended for trails and hiking and a few replace some symbols that Garmin had on their black and white models but dropped from the color models. These symbols and more information is provided at:
