Iowa Snowmobile Clubs Reminded to GPS Their Trails yet this Winter Working with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), the ISSA is reminding its member-clubs to plot their trail map coordinates for use with the Global Positioning System (GPS) before the season ends.According to ISSA President Terry Durby, digitizing trail maps is
essential to creating a statewide network of trails and to make it easier for non-local snowmobilers to find their way around the fields, ditches and wood river bottoms of Iowa.

The ISSA currently owns seven handheld Magellan Meridian Gold GPS units, and they are available for use by member-clubs. Reserve one today by contacting your respective ISSA Region Director. Instructions (.pdf) for plotting a trail map with GPS technology are available here.


Completed maps and downloads should be emailed to either Durby or to Molly Oliverson at the IDNR. Memory cards may be also be mailed. For more information, contact Durby at (641) 567-3090. More Iowa snowmobile info here...

“It is now again time for us to consider award nominations for
deserving Iowa snowmobilers,” Carmichael wrote in a January letter to ISSA members. “Did you or your club send in nominations last year? Every one of us knows at least one person who is an outstanding Iowa snowmobiler who deserves to be recognized. Let’s make 2006 a banner year for awards.”
