Matthew Herrera –
As an avid hiker and a recent explorer of GSMNP just really started in 2014, I have to give a lot of credit to the accuracy and detail to the Outragegis Team resources. I particularly appreciate the 3D map on the website and the functionality of being able to navigate the map quickly and pinpoint the depth of elevation and difficulty when planning our group’s camping and hiking excursions into the Smoky Mtn National. Seeing it flat on the Nat Geo #229 map is one thing but seeing the elevation rise from the surrounding towns on the 3D map is quite another. It gives you a great sense of the immediacy of the pitch and rises of the mountains thateven advanced and expert map users will appreciate. In planning my next camping trip in Sept. I have also downloaded the GPS pack for my iPhone 6Plus and I really like that I can refer to this without having cell service or the physical map. I am a busy professional with many days on the road and having access to the maps of the park between work and driving away from home will be very helpful in planning our next trip as we text frequently on in deciding what each person wants out of our hikes. Thanks to the entire team for the detail, accessibility, and accuracy of the GSMNP maps, it makes a very large and expansive place like Smoky Mtn National quite approachable!
