I like it. I don’t get as much trail time as I’d like, but I’m always up for a better map when I do manage the time to go. It’s going on my ‘wish list’.

Hey John, the draft map currently has both UTM and DD MM.MMº grids. The UTM is 10 k grid with 5 k tics with a measure printed on the margins to map precise locations. We’ll probably add more grid lines and tics to help.

I would purchase this map if UTM was the primary grid. Don’t know if you could offer two models of this map (one with DGM and one with UTM) , but I don’t use DGM anymore.

Thanks

Little Bald in the Great Smokies is between Mt. Squires and Russell Field. Not between Russell and Mollies. There used to be a sign erected at Little Bald. Since the A.T. was rerouted in the ’90s, it no longer crosses Little Bald. You have it mislabeled.

The margins will be filled in with symbols, legend, and trail names/mileages. Since dogs cannot hike the Smokies’ backcountry, we’ll not have many of our doggo portraitos!
