Interest in accurate and up-to-date trail maps?
Anyone here have interest in such maps? Or do you find the maps that are available through the Forest Service and/or Nat. Geo sufficient?

The FS maps are ok but are often out of date but they do have the road numbers on them that are usless if you come to a sign and don't have the map
USGS Topo maps are good show some of the roads.
Trail guide are out the too.
Try google earth

I love the Trails Illustrated Maps. I'm not sure how much more accurate and useful a map can be. They're even basically waterproof.

Well, up-to-date would mean whenever the last othro photo quad was produced, which could be 10 years...
At any rate, I'm contemplating making maps that would be loaded directly into a GPS unit and would show the trail, down to probably +/-10ft. They would be derrived from aerial photos (as most maps are) but would be created with an eye towards accuracy.
