brcmap.home.comcast.net

now has 2005 maps for the GPS, in both Garmin internal map format, and the more universal but limited "trackmap" format (composed of tracks and waypoints).

2005 Art Installation data isn't released yet, but there is bogys (actually 2004) data there to play with and get familiar with, so you can quickly make use of the real data when it's available.

Please begin using this before you get to the playa - let us know what works and doesn't, give us ideas and suggestions, create derivative stuff, have fun!

Also - we plan to have a "GPS filling station" at Playa Info this year, with this data and more - with updates as we release or discover more info. Come by with your cable to get data - or perhaps volunteer to help! It would great to have some experienced GPS users around to answer questions and help participants make use of the info.
