Screenshots

This KMZ map is set to Draw Order 32 so it will show 'beneath' your primary map on your Garmin KMZ-compatible GPS.

Note that due to the wide coverage area of this map, it is actually 4 tiles. Keep that in mind when placing this on your Garmin GPS - even though this is one KMZ, the number of tiles is limited to 100 across all the KMZ files loaded on most Garmin GPS receivers (500 if you have a Garmin Montana).

All of the images below are from a Garmin GPSMAP 78sc.

The image on the left in both rows is with no other maps displayed. The image on the right in both rows is with the Garmin 24K NE series TOPO map displayed.

Version History

 

Version 1.02 (2013 Jun 23)
Version 7 of Google Earth introduced a new 'feature' - when opening KMZ files, the view automatically 'tilts' to an oblique angle. By specifying the tilt angle (zero) in the KML file, this version of the Peaked Mt KMZ map (1.02) prevents Google Earth from tilting the view. There were no other changes to the map - so if you don't mind the tilt view in Google Earth, or if you are not using this KMZ file in Google Earth, there is no reason to download this update. 

Version 1.01 (2012 Oct 12)
Adjusted position of KMZ by calibrating it to GPS tracks of hikes provided by local hiker. 

Version 1.00 (2012 Oct 01)
Initial release using Trustees map dated December 2011
