[pct-l] Iphone GPS Question

[Jim Keener ( J J )]

Thanks for all the details. The process I have used - and these things  
change - is to upload Halfmile's maps as PDFs using the Felaur PDF  
app. Then uploading his tracks and waypoints using MotionX. I use a  
computer-based tool (mac-Garmin BaseCamp) to change the names to mile  
points and make comments before uploading.
