    That's great in so many ways but also outdated at the same time.
    I compared my GPS tracks in some area I know well and the roads on the map have completely changed. And that's not recent.
    I'm not bashing the op but rather put an emphasis on "do your due diligence and check first". You don't want to plan a week-long hunt only to be staring at a missing bridge or a 10 ft pile of dirt/rocks/stumps.

    Do you subscribe to Google earth pro? You have a white update come across your screen for 3 seconds, mine is 7 minutes and then occasionally one or two yellow "private property" indicators will show up. I am on a good network connection at home and have nowhere near the functionality you seem to have.

    Nope, just regular Google Earth. I've seen it run on many machines and there was never any kind of delay like that. There might be an issue with the government right now. This morning I get a big red X after a few seconds. That typically means the government data base is down temporarily.
    If an animal is going to die so that I might live, the least I can do is perform the unsavoury deed myself.

    There is a selection for "All forest road sections" and another for "Active forest road sections". The active ones should be current if the forest company went by the plan... which doesn't always happen.

    As you say, you will always have to put boots on the ground to determine the validity of any of the information.

    If you click on the blue headings you will get a legend of what each colour means.

    Not sure if this has been brought up yet... but this file also works with Garmin Basecamp, so you can directly upload it to your GPS
