Location: Missouri | Paints, do you have a map with longitude and latitude numbers for different spots? That's what I need. I already have maps with the different trails, but they don't have the longitude and latitude numbers. Thanks! Natalee |

Location: Missouri | I ended up getting the Garmin Legend Etrex HCx. It's awesome. I love it. I trail rode all weekend with it and had a blast. It's got great reception...even kept a signal in my saddlebag (I was in heavy tree coverage for most of my ride), has a colored screen and is sooo simple to learn and use. I LOVE IT! Now if I can just get those waypoints. I've searched and searched online to find a place that has posted waypoints and have found different websites, but none have points for the Ozark Moutain Riverway Trails. Natalee |

Location: Sedalia, Colorado | Either of these will allow to explore and determine any waypoint, route, or trail and upload to your GPS. May require a properly formated micro sd card.

Location: Missouri | To the last poster...thanks. I have already purchased a topo map. What I'm looking for are the longitude and latitude numbers of different CCTR trail "spots". For example...Thompsons Cave. If I had the longitude and latitude I could mark it on my topo map and somewhat have a direction to ride toward to get there. With a GPS, you can manually add waypoints. Let's say that a fellow CCTR trail rider has been on several trails...like the Jerk Tail Trail or ridden to Cold Water Creek Camp (just an example...I already know how to get there) and during their ride on that trail they marked their GPS with different waypoints along the way. I'm interested in those points to load on my GPS. For example one waypoint might be n 41 Degrees 24.297 and west 093 Degrees43.579. That's sort of the waypoint of the CCTR Camp. I've manually loaded that on my GPS from viewing google earth. That's what I'm looking for. Natalee |

Location: Sedalia, Colorado | I have georegistered the map provided by NPS (from the link by Paints) and overlaid this on Google Earth.
This may not be exactly what you need, but you can click the KMZ and it will load into Google Earth enabling you to draw your own waypoints and tracks from the features on the NPS Ozark National Scenic Riverways Horse Trail Map. The resulting new "Places" can then be saved to a KMZ or KML file on your computer, and if your Garmin software cannot upload them use GPSBabel to convert to Garmin or GPX.
Here is a preview...
Click the link below, save the file (deleting any trailing characters after .kmz from the file name, SkyDrive is a strange critter). Open in Google Earth.

I would appreciate any comments on this download (especially concerning accuracy, and usability), but please use the comment form on the download site.
