    America’s Great Continental Divide

    Had? We are still having fun after 39 days on the trail ? Our group size has changed over the trip. We now have 4 vehicles and 7 adventurers.

    America’s Great Continental Divide

    No, we are still on the trail and heading north. Internet is spotty and so I post when I have time and internet access. If all goes well we’ll cross the Canadian border when it opens on August 9th

    America’s Great Continental Divide

    While in New Mexico we visited El Morro which served as a stopping place for numerous travelers through the arid and desolate region that became New Mexico. Many left signatures, names, dates, and stories of their treks in the walls of the sandstone cliff. While some of the inscriptions are...

    Garmin Overlander

    Agree, it would be nice for a quick measure tool. You can “add” a waypoint, look at the distance and then delete the waypoint. Elevation can be displayed with the “Data Fields” option. Both of these are available via the Explore app

    Garmin Overlander

    In that case use whatever app you like and import via sd card or the android file transfer app. I’ve been creating routes on the Overlander for the last 4 weeks with success too. It’s all about learning to use the tools at hand ;-)

    America’s Great Continental Divide

    We spent the night before and after the drive to the border in Silver City. The city was still recovering from COVID-19 so a lot of stores and restaurants were closed. But, there was art all over the city.

    Garmin Overlander

    The Overlander is not supported by Basecamp - never has been. One needs to use the web based Explore app. I’m guessing Garmin is going to retire Basecamp once Explore has the same capabilities.

    Garmin Overlander

    We’ll, it is android based ;-) What application on your MBPro are you using that is slow?

    Today was the first time that our dog, Kuparr, didn’t want to get out of the Jeep. He just sat in the front seat waiting for the AC while the rest of us had lunch. It was 103°

    America’s Great Continental Divide

    With temperatures expected to reach 103ºF we decided an early morning start was a good idea. So, at 8:00AM we took off for the border station at Antelope Wells and our official start of the Continental Divide motorized route. The Antelope Wells Border Station was still completely closed down...

    America’s Great Continental Divide

    Our route is 2,700 miles (4,345km) of mostly country gravel and forest service roads from Antelope Wells at the Mexico/U.S. border to Banff Canada. We have a start date for heading north but no hard end date - the idea is to drive north and enjoy the sights and sounds of the trail. A large...
