Screenshots

This KMZ map is set to Draw Order 32 so it will show 'beneath' your primary map on your Garmin KMZ-compatible GPS. This KMZ also will appear above my KMZ map of the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge and under my KMZ map of Red Acre

The images on the left are from a Garmin GPSMAP 78sc with no other maps displayed. The image on the right is from the same device with the Garmin 24K NE series TOPO maps displayed.
