Caltopo Maps

Here is a good tutorial on how to use Caltopo and 

Avenza.https://douchepacker.com/2016/04/28/quick-and-dirty-guide-to-making-a-map-in-caltopo/

After reading about Caltopo and how awesome it was, I finally started to use it lately to plan trips and make my own maps.  Basically, you can make your own map and print it out using your own printer or maybe a really nice printer at work.  Additionally, you can export the map to various map apps on your phone, allowing you to have a GPS compatible map that shows where you are as you are hiking, just like a GPS unit.
