We mentioned some other links that you might find helpful or interesting.
- Brandon mentioned using the Garmin maps to identify public vs private land. A blog post from Garmin regarding their mapping that would serve this purpose can be found here.
- Dan mentioned onXmaps as a cross platform mapping product that can also help differentiate public and private land. This may have been mentioned on a past session by someone in the audience, but its worth mentioning again.
- Brandon also mentioned a book titled Beetle Drive by Fiona Easterby as inspiration to get out and explore using whatever means you have available.
