[Philmont]: Garmin Maps

I've been working on topo maps for Philmont to load on my
Garmin GPS. The big improvement with this version is an
installer so making them available for MapSource is
trivial (sorry to the people who got the maps and had to
do acrobatics to install them).

You can download the raw map or the installer version from
my website http://www.virtualcutts.com/
This version also covers a slightly larger area (I was
concerned about treks that were near the edge of the
world)

I'd like to add "points of interest" to the map with
campsites and such. However John Leblanc correctly pointed
out that the sources on the internet for this information
might be questionable. I did find one website that seemed
pretty reliable and that's what I'm going to use this
summer.

Another thought would be if I could find some track logs
of the trails, I could add that to the map. (Even one or
two would be pretty cool.)

PS. These maps are strictly for recreational purposes. And
I've been having fun learning the process...
