If you login to CalTopo with your gmail or yahoo account you can save your maps. I like to see more of the image than the topo sometimes so I slid the opacity slider to the left. So, you can move information from CalTopo into MyTrails using the general steps as exporting a KML from Google Earth.ĬalTopo is nice because you can layer a topo map over a satellite image and then change the opacity. I should really file this under a CalTopo thread but this just shows how CalTopo works with GPS Babel. not just MyTrails.Ī key thing is to make sure I know which file I'm putting my waypoints into and keep my files up to date between MyTrails and Google Earth after I'm done scouting.ĭeerSlayer showed me the layer feature in CalTopo and I noticed you can export your information to KML or KMZ - the same way you can with Google Earth above.

This should work with any GPS software that can make and read GPX files. I suppose I could do a more detailed step-by-step with screen snaps if enough people are interested. Sometimes difficult to be clear in email/posts. just try to get the gist of it and ask questions and maybe I can clear it up. Uploading to Dropbox (free account) is a feature in MyTrails. I use "Dropbox" to pass the files back and forth between my MyTrails and Windows. What the GPS Babel screen looks like to convert the file: Picking the right link for download: (the other links are red herrings) But one extra step is that you have to convert that "KML" file into a "GPX" - so MyTrails can read it. The folder in Google Earth can be exported as a "KML" file. I made one folder in Google Earth for waypoints I make when scouting images with Google Earth.

I made one file in MyTrails for waypoints I make when scouting on foot. And I want to see waypoints I make in Google Earth in MyTrails.īasically I want to see all my waypoints no matter what software I make them in. I want to see my waypoints in Google Earth after I make them in MyTrails.
