Cf-lgWhen surfing our many on-the-trail mapping offerings you may have stumbled across the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) trail maps, and wondered what the heck that is. Well, RTC is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., whose mission is to create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors to build heSc-02-lgalthier places for healthier people. With that being said, you can see why we have decided to offer these trail maps to our users and continue to grow the options available to download.

The RIMGP3109TC trail maps now include even more trails and Points of Interests (POI’s) than ever before. Each RTC region in the U.S. was recently updated to add more detailed trail routes and POI’s so you can get out and explore new and exciting areas. POI’s added include trailheads, parking locations, bridges, tunnels, surface changes, restrooms, drinking fountains and many more. RTC’s popular trail finder site, www.TrailLink.com, also features updated comprehensive trail information, some of which include surfaces, allowable uses, descriptions, and pictures. Using RTC’s trail finder site isIMGP3139 a quick and easy way to discover thousands of miles of bike trails, walking trails, equestrian trails, and hiking and running trails to help guide your next adventure.

To enhance your outdoor experience with these great maps you can also pair RTC’s trail data with Garmin’s TOPO 24K regional maps. Download one of the RTC six regions to your compatible unit for only $9.99!
