The complete version of the statewide Michigan snowmobile trails map is now ready. It's the same trail data as the trails only version I put up in December, but now it includes lakes, rivers, and roads, so it's much more useful for Garmin owners who don't have any other Garmin maps, and especially for Lowrance and Magellan users who are unable to overlay trail maps on top of other commercial maps. It's mostly made up of data from the DNR and has some extra trails that aren't in the DNR's data from other peoples' GPS tracks. The trails are all labeled with their common name, such as Pinkerton Creek Trail, Lake Superior Trail, etc.

The Garmin maps can be installed into Mapsource or uploaded to your GPS using SendMap if you don't have Mapsource. The Magellan map works on Explorist and Meridian units, as well as the Crossover. Instructions for all brands are on the download page.

I tried loading the wisconsin and michigan maps....the wisconsin maps work great, but it cuts off pretty much at the state border line...i have tried the complete mi and the trail michigan...they still dont work for me...I even tried unchecking every other map besides the complete michigan one and i get nothing...i set the trails to purple to make it easier...If someone could shed some light on this for me id appreciate it...i never had problems with previous versions but right now nothing is working for me...

Thanks

i figured out what was wrong...i made my michigan maps and wisconsin maps both purple in color...Once I switched the colors between the two states now it works great..i kept michigan purple and wisconsin green...works great now...

sorry to bother

Did you have a previous version of the MI maps installed? Uninstall all the MI and reinstall and hopefully that'll correct the problem.
TheGeneral
yea, i did have the previous uninstalled before i tried installing the new one...i just found to make wisconsin maps white in color and make michigan purple...as long as they are different it works great...Appreciate everything

Strange - they should be able to be the same color. I'll have to look into that.

Are these something I would want to lay over the city nav maps in the Zumo 450? Or should I be sticking to trail only maps, so as not to be laying roads over roads?

The trail maps can be put over other maps, but I'm not exactly sure how it all works on a Zumo. Do you have City Navigator (or some other roads package) and Mapsource? If so, I'd imagine you could just install my map and then load it on your GPS along with the street maps. If you have a preloaded card, I'm not sure what would happen if you tried to load it on there. I THINK you can load additional maps onto a preloaded card without messing with the preloaded maps, but I'm not certain.
