Thanks for your work on these, Jim.
I'm new to the list, but have been geocaching since 2001.  At the time, I
got my girlfriend (now, my wife) involved, but took a hiatus after our
marriage and having 2 kids.  Took the 4 year old, 11 month old and wife out
yesterday and knocked out 3 micros.  I needed to break in my Oregon 300
(bought after I destroyed my Legend).  Your trail and topo map was handy.

Question... would there be a reason I would need the gpx version of the
trail map since I have your newest version installed in MapSource?
