• My routes might be helpful. Pulled all the adventure cycling data into it so have pretty much every hotel, campsite, service marked along the route... It's possible to stay inside a lot just need to be creative. Churches, fire stations etc will all let you stay.
    Issue is food and water... I often ran out of water.
    Bear spray isn't worth the weight...

    Hope these help:

  • Wow, that's cool. Thanks very much for that.

    I was planning on throwing some cash at the maps (and maybe their electronic ones too) but almost certainly they will be ignored and I'll end up winging it. You might've actually encouraged me to have a look at some maps :)

  • Did you manually enter all these or are they the ones from their electronic mapset? I'm wondering if it's worth buying their latest electronic maps and repopulating this for 2017?

    I'm thinking I might remove stuff that's not on the route itself to declutter it a bit. There's lots of examples of POIs that I won't be detouring for during the race:
    "POI-Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site"

    Do you know what all the codes are? Like "NS"

    "Name: BS,CG-Bumper to Bumper
    Description:closed Sun., To camp, check in at store, BS carries bike parts(limited)"
    I guess that's "Bike Shop" and "Camp Ground".

    Aha...

    Hmm, still no mention of NS.

    NS-Marienthal
    (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marienthal,_Kansas)
    "Marienthal now consists of roughly 100 people, a Catholic church,[3] a post office, a flour mill,[4] a substance abuse treatment center, a trucking company, a bar and a grain elevator."
