Gps Data
Discovering and Mapping the lost trails and their history

 Welcome. Using current GPS technology this site contains data collected  in
the field using using historic trail maps and guides, years of hiking in Acadia National Park.
 
 
     

 

 Maintained and Existing NPS Trails
 

      NPS Trails on Current Topo
 

Maintained and existing  trails are from the most recent Acadia National Park GIS data available on their  website.  http://science.nature.nps.gov/nrdata/datastore.cfm?ID=40427

 

Not all GPS map programs are created equal. Since all data contained on this site was constructed using EXPERTgps it will present itself best using EXPERTgps. A free 30day trial is available at  http://www.expertgps.com/ .  EXPERTgps currently supports Garmin, Magellan, and Lowrance GPS units.

Other programs Mapsource, Topo etc will open the files but in many cases you will get sequential numbered tracks vs track names.  I am currently reworking all data which will resolve this.
