    Resources for finding up to date info on FSRs

    Just wondering what you guys use to get recent information on FSRs when going into new Management Units? Do you use backroad mapbooks or iMapBC or something else? iMapBC seems to have lots of info but I can't find a layer for FSRs on it. Advice appreciated.

    Go here, (or google geo bc KML) download the KML, look into Licences and permits it will have all cutblocks, roads etc. It is all the up to date I map layers for google earth.

    Sort of, I use GPS Kit HD on my phone, I can email any KML I like to my phone and open it in GPS Kit, I would NOT try to open that entire data library as it will bog down your phone or not even open. You also need to cache imagery in GPS Kit to get to the resolution you like, Yes it is a bit of work, but the only way that "I" have found to have Google Earth with me in the field while out of cell range, and still allow me to make and send tracks to my phone from my desk top. I spent a morning tracing out private land, leases etc. in google earth and now I have that in my phone. I would not want to rely on it in court, but good enough to keep me away from private.
    The other nice things about GPS Kit, you can track log but take photos as you go, these are imbedded right into the linework so geo referenced, then it is as simple as emailing that data (kml) from you phone to whomever and the pictures all go with the one file.
