Thanks guys, is "routescout" the same as the option to just download the route into my phone and use navigation?, if not how is it different.

@sajor75
Did you click on the link in Joe's reply? It explains Route Scout.

Not sure how you download a route into your phone and use navigation, but this is one way to do it. You may be using another app that does something similar.

I went to the map section, found Derrik/Horton Loop trail and could not find the print option anywhere, do you need a premium acct to print?

Download
Download is for gps devices such as Garmin eTrex, Oregon, etc.
You download the file on a desktop. Plug in your device via USB then drag the file to the device.

Phone App
"Route Scout - GPS Topo Mapper" is an app you download from Apple Store or Google Play. Transfer is wireless.
There is a video in the first post of >>> this thread <<< that explains importing.

If you try and "download" a gpx file on an iPhone or iPad you only get the contents of the file on your screen. Hence "Route Scout" above.
