Ogre, how long did it take you to master Map source? I haven't spent enough time with it to get it down.

I've been using it for years...it seems like second nature now. There are a lot of potential glitches that screw things up unless you are aware of them.

I planned a 2 month trip thru Europe with it back in 2007...no way I could have navigated without it.

This is a long ride but well worth it!! Top notch...but a side trip into Mesa Verde would make it maybe too long?

anyway here's a link for Park info

Yep, they are thanks. I have Base Camp also do you like Map source better?
