I saw something like this in a Camino Facebook group and thought it would be fun to try for the 4 Rivers. It was way more work than expected. If anyone wants their own, download the SVG base file below [editable in the open source Inkscape] with layers in place. You can switch out your own GPS tracks [the hardest part] and edit the text, graphics, print and frame it for your office, den, whatever. It makes a nice conversation piece to go along with your certificates and what not.

Download Zip: 4R-S2B

Zip file includes editable SVG file, and all individual elements including fonts except Garamond which I used for the smallest type . Feel free to use your own.

You’ll need to install open source Inkscape unless you already have Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. The hardest part is bringing the GPS track into Inkscape. Here are the instructions for that:

1. Download and install open source QGIS;
2. Create a New Project;
3. Add Vector Layer;
4. Choose your GPX or KLM file and select tracks only on the import dialogue;
5. Export to Adobe PDF;
6. Import that PDF into a new layer in Inkscape, hiding or deleting the old layer;
7. Add styling to the imported GIS Track and resize proportionally by holding down the control key while dragging a corner.
