Jetskier;

I do not believe you will find good downloadable maps for NH.

I think you would be better off buying a GPS that tracks and make your own maps. That is what I do and have had great results. You can't get lost as you can simply backtrack to your original destintion.

I currently use a Garmin 76CSX GPS and downloaded US Topographical maps. This map set shows all major roads and contour of the land. I then make my own map sets as I ride and save them to memory. I also make save waypoints for places like gas stations, places to eat and drink, good stopping areas, etc, etc.

The 76CSX GPS runs on two AA batteries as well as a 12 V accessory plug. It is not affected by extreme cold (I have used it at -32 without issues) and is water proof.

I have fun just going out getting lost while making tracks for new trails!!

Good Luck!

Dan
