One very popular area that I get calls for all the time is Arizona. It’s extremely difficult for me to make a detailed trail map that covers an entire state. However, I was able to complete the new map of 100 Trails based on the Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4×4 Trails Guidebook by Funtreks. It includes Aerial imagery of the trails, the trails and trail heads which are color coded according to trail difficulty as well as Waypoints mentioned in the book. Each trailhead and Waypoint as has an info box that displays text from the book. These info boxes are loaded with information such as  trail introductions and extra info along the trail such as optional off-shoots, photo spots and hikes.
A quick preview of this map can be seen on the Rugged Routes youtube Channel here;

I wanted to send you some information regarding the current Lowrance products. Ultimately I want to help you get the unit that best fits your needs while taking advantage of the current mail in rebates.

Currently Lowrance has 2 product lines, HDS Carboon (the flagship of the product offerings) and Elite Ti (Which has lots of HDS features at a lower price point) In a nutshell, the Elite Ti series units has full map support for Rugged Routes mapping and are operated via a single touch, touchscreen and have most HDS features except a wired ethernet connection. Wired ethernet is only required for some optional accessories. The Elite-7 Ti andlarger all have a NMEA 2000 port which is required for connecting an external antenna while the Elite-5 Ti does not have this option. Overall I recommend Elite Ti Units for those who don’t wear gloves while driving off road who due to the touch screen operation. The Elite-7 Ti units are the most popular in this series and currently has a $100 Rebate available through May 31, 2018. You can purchase your Elite Ti Units from our website here: https://ruggedroutes.com/lowrance-off-road-gps-units-c-22.html/lowrance-elite-ti-off-road-gps.html The rebate form is available here: https://www.lowrance.com/contentassets/10fdf044b7ae4832b5050f4e27190207/catch_a_great_deal_rebateform2.pdf
