[pct-l] Large Scale Maps

[Devon Taig]

Can't resist...Im a GeoGeek / cartographer. A large scale map for
hiking purposes would be more on the order of 1:24,000. Definitely not
1:500,000. "Large scale" means things appear large. Sounds like you
need small scale maps.

Steel-Eye,
I will look into doing this. Does this scale typically cover a PCT
section on a single page?
