JMT-2016: GPS and Electronics



7/22/2016
a) GPS
    i) Gary is carrying a wrist GPS (Garmin Fortex 401).
    ii) Rose's InReach can be used as a GPS.
    III) Gary has GPX files of locations along the JMT with bear boxes. Also there is a GPX file with the campsites listed in Wenk's book. These files are attached.
    iv) Also I have quadrangle topo maps for the entire JMT in pdf format if anybody is interested-they are large so I am not including into this e-mail. Also have a map with the entire JMT on it.
b) PLB (Personal Locator Beacon)
    i) Rose-InReach
    ii) Kim-InReach
    iii) Sonya-SPOT
    iV) Sherri-SPOT 2
    V) Gary-SPOT Messenger
c) Gary will be bringing along a solar charger (Goal Zero Nomad 7). While this is enough to power Gary and Sherri's devices and some others, it probably is not enough to power all 6 of us. If you intend to power your devices, be sure to bring the proper cables.
