Recommended Web sites with GPS trails in GPX format
Michael B. from Washington asks: “I’m interested in using my GPS for hiking and I found the Backpacker.com web-site has hikes with trail routes that I can export to ExpertGPS. I was hoping that there were other such sites you can recommend that have a more complete list of hikes/maps.”
