MiniTreks Maps for Carlisle, Mass. (USA)

The GPS tracks for Carlisle trails were mostly (thankfully!) provided by the Carlisle Trails Committee: carlisletrails.pbwiki.com.

The Trails Committee is currently reviewing these maps and WILL HAVE UPDATES, so this is just a draft copy.

Google Maps

Carlisle Overview

Click on the conservation area of interest to get a map of that area. To view multiple areas, save the overview map and each of the conservation area maps into "My Maps". Then you can turn one or more on at once.

Carlisle Complete

Carlisle trails, all on one map. Be patient and wait for the whole thing to load before panning or zooming. This is a demonstration of why not to put all the trails for one town into one map for Google Maps.

Google Earth is much faster, so the Earth maps are not broken up into separate detailed maps. Also, Google Earth gives you better tools for measuring the length of a planned hike.

First obtain the software (downloadable for free from www.googleearth.com).

Right click on My Places, pull down add, then network link, and paste the following into the "link" space:
http://www.minitreks.info/maps/carlisle_trails_gearth.kmz

They both use the same file type.

The Carlisle Maps and Earth examples are two separate copies of the same data. One looks better in Maps and the other looks better in Earth, but you can view either in either. Here is an example of the Carlisle Earth-optimized file in Maps. To see the Maps-optimized file in Earth, Right click on My Places, pull down add, then network link, and paste the following into the "link" space:
