[QUOTE="Spud, post: 1327603, member: 17601"] That's similar to what I've been doing last couple of years. My current technique, a combination of old-world craftsmanship and technology (who says we can't make anything in America anymore....): 1. Using Google Maps create route. 2. Print route image on color copier, size it to fit tank bag map pocket with +/- on copier. 3. By hand, skillfully trace route with a neon sharpie (pink is a good one). 4. VERY CAREFULLY apply strips of clear packing tape on both sides. 5. Using a traditional hand tool called SCISSORS (don't run with these), custom cut to my liking. I make one for each day, viola perfectly sized waterproof custom maps. Throw them in the map drawer after rides, remember where I been [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] I have a TOM TOM also but love looking at a map route along the way as well.
