It looks like nobody has the experience or others may have missed the question. I'd like to suggest that if your group would like to map the water system using GPS technology, it's a great idea. I'm sure that many things on the National Forests have been or are being mapped by GPS. At the same time, your paper map will likely serve you for the purposes you have in mind. For example, by scanning the map, you could print a copy, add notes about repairs and keep a new scan of the paper map. I don't much about the specific Garmin tool, but you'd definitely need some kind of software to take the GPS data and generate a map. Maybe you can find software online. Many small municipalities and so forth likely use online tools or consumer software to generate maps.

Good luck with your project - let us know how it goes!

Our system was original to the 1930s, but was upgraded so we made sure all of our maps were scanned and put on file. We added on a water tank and refiled a new map with that. Make sure your maps go with each permittees Operation and Maintenance filings. Make surer all cabin owners get a copy because the Forrest loses things.]]> Fri, 24 Mar 2023 15:34:43 GMT
