<h1>Using your GPSr to Navigate to NH 4,000 footer (and other) trailheads</h1>
</div> <!-- header div -->
<div id="main">
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>Sometimes finding a trailhead can be as daunting as doing the hike
itself! Fortunately in the White Mountains the AMC's <i>White
Mountain Guide</i> and Steven Smith and Mike Dickerman's <i>The
4000-Footers of the White Mountains</i> give good directions. In
spite of that many hikers may want more detailed navigational
instructions. The two downloadable files of waypoints: <a
href="gps/Trailheads.gpx">Trailheads.gpx</a> and <a
href="KMZ/Trailheads.kmz">Trailheads.kmz</a> are a first attempt to
meet that need.</p>
<h2>Coverage</h2>
<p>All waypoints were recorded by me on the ground; none were
calculated from maps. I have almost all the trailheads to the 4,000
footers, as well as all trailheads on I 93 and Rts 3, 302, 16 and 2
and various others. In addition I have most, if not all, the AT
trailheads in NH south of Rt 25. On the other hand, I have no
coverage of the Randolph trails north of RT 2, nor of any trailheads
along Rt 113.</p>
<h2>Usage</h2>
<p>I am currently providing the data in two formats: .gpx (the GPS Exchange
Format) and .kmz (the Google Earth format).</p>
<p>GPX files can be directly loaded into Garmin (and perhaps other)
receivers, and are accepted by most, if not all, GPS conversion tools.
They ares also acceptable as input for Garmin's <a
href="http://www.garmin.com/products/poiloader/">POI Loader</a>
software and can easily be converted to almost any GPS manufacturer's
format with the excellent (and free) <a
href="http://www.gpsbabel.org/">GPSBabel</a> program (available in
both command line and GUI versions).</p>
<p>KMZ files can beloaded into Google Earth for viewing, and by
clicking on a waypoint you can get driving directions to it.</p>
<p>I would be very interested in adding files in other formats if
there is a need for them in our community, please let me know and I
will attempt to include them.</p>
<p>A good description of "Points of Interest" (POIs) from the Garmin
perspective can be found in Sam Penrod's page on <a
href="http://www.gpsinformation.org/penrod/poiloader/poiloader.html">Garmin's
POI Loader</a>. Garmin users may want to read a very interesting post
on <a
href="http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=140808">Multiple
Custom POI Files on GPSr</a>. Note that I have not tried it
myself!!</p>
<h2>Google Maps for Trailheads</h2>
<p>Here are Google Maps of various groups of trailheads. These maps
are fully interactive Google maps, you can zoom in or out and and pan
to see more or less detail. You can either click on a trailhead on the
embedded map, or click on the link below it to get a larger map in a
new window or tab. Clicking on the link below the map will not only
give you a larger map, but will also list the trailheads. Clicking on
the parking icon either on the map or on the list will give you a
popup window with a "Directions" option.</p>
<h3>Trailheads to the Franconia Notch peaks</h3>
<p>This map shows the trailheads to the Franconia and Kinsman ridges,
as well as a couple (Georgiana Falls and Mount Pemigewasset) in the

<h3>Moosilauke area trailheads</h3>
<p>This map shows many of the trailheads in the Moosilauke section of
the <i>White Mountain Guide</i>. Zooming out or dragging the map up
will reveal the trailheads for Mount Simpson and Rattlesnake Mountain;
including them in the view would have required a very tall map, or
losing clarity by zooming out too much.</p>
