Nice, but IMHO, not worth the weight or $$ over the guidebook maps.

You are going to be on the JMT section less than 200 miles of a 2665 mile trip.

And the navigation on that particular section of the trail is
ridiculously easy, even in heavy snow cover: Just get in the right
drainage, and walk upstream till you get to the pass, then walk
downstream till you hit the river fork. Repeat.

The high canyon wall keep you from getting too far away from the trail.

All IMHO, YMMV, HYOH.
