[pct-l] Re: GPSs, maps and the PCT

Thanks for posting your list.  Although I have both SEKI and Yosemite TOPO!
discs, using your set will speed me in loading a receiver.  If your selected
waypoints worked like a charm, your GPS receiver was without doubt set to
the same datum as Tom Reynolds used when he created the trace.  Was it NAD27
or NAD83 he and you used?

Thanks again,]
