Track segments detail only the main / official and/or “Ley” route of the trail, and do not describe alternate routes that may deviate from this “main route.” Track segments are organized by state as follows: Segs 1-7 MT Segs 8-10 WY Segs 11-16 CO Segs 17-20 NM.

My hat is off!ĬDT Ley route: full trail, gps-ready (SOBO):ĭescription: Jonathan Ley’s Continental Divide Trail kmz file converted to gpx format and divided into 20 track segments of 500 waypoints per track, presented for the southbound traveler. The only one who deserves any street cred whatsoever is Jonathan Ley, who has invested I’d imagine thousands of hours at this point in the creation and updating of his CD map set from which all other resources were born. This all came into being rather suddenly (and very easily, let it be said). The TPO might be useful if printing custom maps, for instance if planning a hike beyond the scope of Jonathan’s CD-ROM map coverage, or if wanting to add custom annotations to printed maps.Īny and all of these resources can later be amended based on changes to Jonathan’s KMZ (Google Earth) master file, and periodically we’ll try to attend to this. The TPO file is the same data, but formatted for NatGeo TOPO!, with red lines for the “main” route and blue lines for the alternates. The GPX file is typically too large for uploading to a GPS, but offers endless possibilities for editing / customization / further expansion. Both are essentially the same data as Jonathan’s original KMZ file. * 2 CDT “sub-master” files – one is GPX, the other TPO. One or two of these files should be loadable at once, depending on GPS unit storage capacity. * 8 state-specific GPX files (nobo x 4 & sobo x 4) – more detailed than the above – each is a variable # of track segments (<20) <500 waypoints per track. Any modern GPS unit conforming to or exceeding the standard “20 tracks of 500 waypoints per track” maximum storage capability should be able to load and run these file. * 2 full-trail, gps-ready GPX files (nobo and sobo) – each is 20 track segments 500 waypoints per track. Newly created GPS and TOPO! ready files (based on Jonathan’s Google Earth file) – see below by Blisterfree…
