ExpertGPS Calibrated Maps

You can download maps individually, or grab all of them in one big zip file.

Please contribute your maps!
If you've calibrated a map with ExpertGPS, please send me the .map and .jpg files and I'll add them here. Please do not send non-public or copyrighted maps.

How to use these maps in ExpertGPS:

1. Save both the .map and the .jpg file to your computer (right-click on the links above) for the maps you want. The two files must be in the same directory.
2. Run ExpertGPS and select "Open Scanned Map Library" from the Map menu.
3. Click "Add".
4. Make sure the "Files of Type" field is set to "Map Calibration File (*.map)"
5. Find the directory you saved the files to and select the .map file you wish to import. Click OK.
6. The map should appear in the Map Library with at least a few Calibration Points.
7. Repeat the last four steps for each map file.
8. Click "OK" to close the Map Library dialog.
9. Enter some waypoints or open up a list of waypoints in ExpertGPS like from a GPX file.
10. Select "New Scanned Map Window" from the Map menu for ExpertGPS version 1 or "Show Scanned Map" from the View menu for ExpertGPS version 2.
11. Select the map you wish to use and click OK.
12. You should now see your waypoints on top of the correct areas of the map. The rest of the area will be blank. Unfortunately you cannot load more than one map at a time.

You can use Adobe Reader's Snapshot tool to copy of the contents of the selection (text, an image, or both) to the Clipboard or to another application. Both text and images are copied as an image.

To copy and image or text in image format using the Snapshot tool:

Select the Snapshot tool (Camera icon), and do one of the following:

Drag a box around the portion of the map you wish to capture. Note that the current zoom level determines the size of the map. In general, I try to keep the map sizes below 500KB. The more you zoom in, the bigger the image will be, so use the minimum zoom level where the map's text is legible.

If you don't see the snapshot tool on your version of Adobe Reader, try upgrading to the latest version from http://www.adobe.com/reader/.

Colors in the selected area are inverted momentarily to highlight the selection. You can open a file in an another application (eg. Paint) and paste the copied selection directly in the the target document.

4. Save the .map file somewhere
