[Loadstone] Questions

[Michael O. Hanson]

I got data for the Appalachian Trail to work.  I would be happy to export 
the file but have a question about the radius normally used.  The AT covers 
slightly over 2,000 miles.  As you probably know, if you attempt to import 
data from a 2,000 mile radius from just about anywhere in the United States, 
you will get far more data than most if not all cell phones can handle.  Do 
you want me to include possible data import instructions for that file?  I 
would suggest importing data in ten or twenty mile chunks and cutting out 
extra data.

Would the list of checkpoints I have created be helpful?  Keep in mind I 
have not field-tested these data yet.  I am still getting data on road 
crossings and water source locations.  I expect to do a test-hike in May if 
all goes as planned.

I sent the list of checkpoints to my computer.  If I loose these 
checkpoints, do I need to do anything other than put it in the Loadstone 
directory labeled checkpoints?

Thank You,


Mike Hanson
