i can sympathize with your situation, but overall your statements sound
elitist. trail access is for EVERYONE.....jeepers, ATVers, MXers, horseback
riders, hikers, etc. there will ALWAYS be bad people in every group that
seem like they want to ruin it for everyone but i disagree with trying to
keep trail access/locations "secret" because you end up keeping the
responsible off roaders out too.

It MIGHT be time consuming Nate, but here's a thought.

Our GPS, a Magellan eXplorest 500cs, has what they call "tracking"
with this feature, it can show exactly where you have been. You can also add
your own POIs (Point Of Interest) with just the push of a button, and even
make notes on it, though cumbersome it can be done. A notepad and pencil
that would refer to the POI would be much faster.
I havew never tried to save a track to a map because I usually turn tracking
OFF. Now, when I get out in the boonies, I am likely to change that.

I can check to see if I can save the tracks, I believe that I can.

I know that the Garmin is the "Big Dog" in GPS, and for good reason. I do
NOT know if it has these features.
