have you seen the Google Earth Over lays I posted? if so you might be able to get those and the topo maps from "Dan the Map Man" for $50....theirs a LOT of great trails already mapped out, all ya got to do is follow

Very useful. A garmin usually comes with just the main US highways installed, when you load the topo maps it also adds all the secondary roads and trails not to mention waterways. I would recommend it.

I never thought to add what some these trails look like that Dan has Mapped out...their Huge the first one is about 40+ miles Square, have not been to Pickett yet, but I am told its pretty massive too!
but is well worth $50 of anybody's money that is going to be riding in Tennessee!
