I'm working with UFG & BNA again! It's a great app.
Thanks for the BCR link. The map that comes with the definitions & regions is clear enough.
I just gotta believe.

Hi Joe,
The source of the BCR map is
http://www.nabci-us.org/bcrs.html
and I don't have a BCR map expressed in latitude and longitude.
However, I'll use it if you make one or get one from NABCI. (I'm
currently creating local trail maps expressed in latitude and
longitude.)
