Anyone have an old MicroSD of either that you would be willing to part with?:

1. PaddleNav BWCA (Red Pine Mapping)
2. GARMIN BWCA

I unfortunately lost my MicroSD card that I purchased from Red Pine Mapping and this company is no longer in business. I used this for my Garmin ETREX20 and found it very nice for locating portages, campsites, and general navigation.

I contacted Piragis that previously sold the PaddleNav Cards, but they don't have them either and recommended that I look at the GARMIN BWCA version.

If you are interested you can download a GPX file to your computer and put that on a micro SD card with Garmin BaseCamp. I did that years ago and it worked fine with my eTrex. Now I just use the Gaia app on my phone with downloaded GPX or KMZ files.

FYI they have the GPX files on this site, Click here

Plander,

Thank you for the tip. From your description it appears that I can get campsites and portage details onto my ETREX20 for free going this route. Maybe this is why PaddleNav ended up going out of business..... hard to compete on price!

If anyone stumbles across an old PaddleNav or GARMIN BWCA chip I'd still be an interested buyer. In the meantime, I'm going to follow Plander's guidance about the available free resources.
