You can Google it and pay for the official download. But it is lame cause you have to use a special app.
Message me your Gaia email and I will share with you the homemade one I have.



KAT. (This is a 1000 miles). I have done 95% of it and It is amazing.
It’s free to download. And check for new downloads often. He updates it with more dirt regularly.

Interlake OHV Trail.
38.20258, -87.23848 I think…double check me before planning a trip

a nearby easy day loop and such.
Interlake OHV Trail is a 19 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Tennyson, Indiana that offers the chance to see wildlife and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for off road driving.

Radio Communications

FRS
The Family Radio Service (FRS) is an improved walkie-talkie radio system authorized in the United States since 1996. This personal radio service uses channelized frequencies around 462 and 467 MHz in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band. It does not suffer the interference effects found on citizens' band (CB) at 27 MHz,

After May 18, 2017, FRS radios are limited to 2 Watts on channel 1-7 and channels 15-22.[1] Previously, FRS radios were limited to 500 milliwatts. All 22 Channels are shared with the General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS).

All equipment used on FRS must be certified according to FCC regulations. Radios are not certified for use in this service if they exceed limits on power output, have a detachable antenna, allow for unauthorized selection of transmitting frequencies outside of the 22 frequencies designated for FRS, or for other reasons.[2][3] After December 2017, the FCC no longer accepts applications to certify hand-held FRS units providing for transmission in any other radio band.
FRS radios must use only permanently attached antennas,[2]; there are also table-top FRS "base station" radios that have whip antennas. This limitation intentionally restricts the range of communications, allowing greatest use of the available channels by the community. The use of duplex radio repeaters and interconnects to the telephone network are prohibited under FRS rules.
FRS manufacturers generally claim deceptively exaggerated range. The presence of large buildings, trees, etc., will reduce range. Under exceptional conditions, (such as hilltop to hilltop, or over open water) communication is possible at 60 km (37 mi) or more, but that is rare. Under normal conditions, with line of sight blocked by a few buildings or trees, FRS has an actual range of about 0.5 to 1.5 km (0.3 to 1 mile).

Question about the DBBB. We've been on a VERY SMALL section of the DBBB but have not gone it's entirety. We're in a currently stock 2020 Tacoma TRD Off Road. Is the DBBB something we could easily navigate if careful or is this like the KAT that we would not want to go alone on? Thanks.

Most of the DBBB would be passable in a stock Tacoma. The parts I would be concerned about are in the southern part. Walker Creek can be deep at times. The rock obstacle on Old Fincastle Road would be very difficult. I never recommend offroading alone. As long as you have the means to self-recover, you should be OK on the rest of it. There are bypasses on many of the obstacles.
