Howdy,

I used the "JMT SOBO profile planner v4.xlsx" file from the "Planning and Transportation" folder this evening to get a preliminary plan together.? Wow, what a tool!? Even though it does not appear to have been updated in 6 or 7 years, it is still very functional.? I marked the resupply points in red at the bottom.

Being able to easily print out the topographic profile with estimated campsites is very cool/helpful.

Thanks!

I used a similar profile as my first cut for route planning - gives a pretty good sense of what your daily hiking entails, and helps identify campsites relative to creek crossings and passes. Sometimes a “two pass” day comes into greater clarity when viewed in profile, compared to plan view.

Hi John,

Do you happen to have the original Excel version of JMT SOBO profile planner v4.xlsx?? It looks like it was recently converted to a Google Sheet which resulted in a loss of functionality because the original had some fairly Excel Specific charting functionality built in.

Thanks!
Steve

Probably. Let me check sometime today. If I don't get back to you on or off board sometime today, please remind me. I was going on right now and I'm tending to forget things that are not top of mind to me. It's a useful tool and I want to make sure it's available to the group and it's best possible form. I assume we should keep both the Excel and the Google sheet version since not everyone can use Excel or a fully compatible program.

If you have figured out what doesn't doesn't work in the Google sheets version please email me off board to explain what doesn't work and I can add that as a note in the Google sheet version, or you can. That can serve as a warning for people to use the Excel version if they need the added features they're available with Excel.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I may have inadvertently deleted the Excel version without much thought, may be able to recover it in the Google drive trash if it has not been permanently deleted already. Or I may have it on my hard drive locally. I assume you're not able to find it anywhere.
