Overlay for Map Software

First of all, a big Welcome to the reader from Montana! Thanks for checking us out. (We now have readers from every state except Wyoming and South Dakota if my info is correct....)

I am always looking for good links and helpful information. Pam and I attended the Life on Wheels conference last fall (see my Sep 12 post). During one of the many conversations there with current full timers, I was introduced to a URL with a free map overlay. This download interfaces with a number of map applications with loads of info.

• Delorme Draw Files
• MicroSoft Streets and Trips
• CoPilot Google Earth
  

I use MS Streets and Trips and find it very useful. I thought you might also so here is the link:

Some of the overlay items you can find include:

• Escapee Parks and Discount Parks
• Cummins Service Centers
• Freightliner RV Service
• Bass Pro Shops
• National Parks/Monuments/Rec Areas with developed RV campgrounds
• Overnight Parking
• InOut Burger Restaurants
• Military FAMCAMPS
• RV Unfriendly (NW, NE, MW, SE, SW)
• State Parks
• Thousand Trails Campgrounds
• WalMart (that bar RV parking)
• Big Rig Friendly RV Parks-Eastern US

The file has the caveat: use at your own risk. (I've never had an issue).

If you get a chance to test it out, let me know what you think. Also if you have other sites with some good info, please pass it along.

See you next time.
