Abstract:
A trail map directory for off-highway vehicles is disclosed. The directory includes a binder having a plurality of individual map pages laminated for dry ease writing and for ease of cleaning. A mechanism is provided for releasably attaching each map page to the binder. A key map is positioned towards the front of the binder, and the key map is subdivided into individual regional map display portions corresponding to the individual map pages. Each map page is preferably a substantially flat, relatively stiff laminated panel. The panel has first and second faces located on opposite surfaces thereof, and first and second side edges which define the width dimension of the panel. Each panel first face includes an enlarged map display portion indexed relative to the key map and is in the form of an enhanced topographical map overlaid with off-road trails present within the map boundary. The trails are color-coded to indicate relative difficulty of use. The first face further includes trail symbols relative to the indicated off-road trails. Each second face includes an index to trail symbols appearing on the first face. The second face may also include GPS coordinates pertinent to the geographical points on the topographical map as well as driving directions to the off-road trails. Finally, an apparatus is disposed along each panel first side edge for releasably attaching the panel to the binder for removal for individual use.
