If you didn't already notice, at the very bottom of the page I added our GPS data which allows you to seriously investigate the trail we will be on thanks to the GPS app that I finally choose: Trimble Outdoor GPS Navigator for $4.99, pretty good deal huh. Beats the hell out of dropping a few dimes on a GPS and a few more on topo's. This app will allow us to create our own trip with our own waypoints, pictures, videos, and voice recordings. It also allows us to upload pics/movies directly to Youtube/Facebook. We get free access to all topo's, hybrid, google... maps that will save and archive to our 32 gb micro sd class 10 card which is dedicated solely to this trek. Make sure to look for the post that will be coming soon linking you to my Youtube.com channel and Facebook for extra insider posts and information.
Back to the map at the very bottom, you can check out topo, hybrid... views plus you can zoom in and check out some of the major waypoints. Hope you enjoy this.
*Update* This app is amazing, one new thing I really like is how I can plan out my trip, add waypoint (will use pre-trip waypoints to mark scarce water sources and special information in specific areas). What is really cool is the ability to download map packs for free that are customized to my liking with things such as types of maps (topo,hybrid), you could down load the entire USA from a satellite zoom view to a very zoomed in view (so close that if you were in that area when the satellite took the shot, you would see your head very close up, crazy). I tried this and it came back telling me that it would take 300+ gb of memory or hard drive. I feel a bit over whelmed because there is so much that this app does, I don't really have enough time to learn it all.
