[pct-l] Route trace for Topo! Software

[Jeff Moorehead]

Bill,
 I was looking for the same thing last year and found that Delorme Topo or 
the NG Topo will accept the trace that Scott has up on Postholer.com. The 
route is partitioned into the different guidebook sections for each of the 
three states. In almost every case, the trail trace is complete and looks to 
be fairly accurate. Let me know if you need more help, but this works very 
well.
