sharkbait Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 I presently use Garmin Mapsource and find it usefull. Detail is, however, not that great. For 19.00 US it is a good deal. I am looking for a good digital topo map of Canada and the Garmin TOPO Canada doesn't seem all that great. Anyone have any good products to recommend? GPS compatability would be nice but is not vital. Thanks for any help. Quote
Rosco Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 Hey Sharky, Check HERE We get ours for Northern Ontario from them they are pretty good when compared to MNR topo's. Cheers Quote
vortex Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 Try www.fugawi.com they've got our great country in 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 on dvd and I believe 3-D as well. Quote
Rosco Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 Vortex is quite right on Fugawi. Quite pricy to deal with but they put out a good product. Quote

T tail Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 Hi Guys, You may all know about this it's Not a topo map or for the GPS but googleearth.com gives a different perspective on the world, zoom in /out on differnt areas, certain areas you can zoom in real close. Great tool when you are stuck in camp and can't fly Cheers TT Quote

blizzard Posted August 27, 2005 Report Posted August 27, 2005 Has anybody used the Garmin IQ3600? Thats what I use and it has paid for itself many times over with the moving map display. However like you say the Garmin Canada topo map software sucks. It would be nice iGarmin asked the ones that use these devises for some input on what we would like to see. They have all the grids in the world except the ones used in the different provinces such as Alta, BC, Sask. It would be nice if they included seismic lines and such or got the info from survey companies in the oil patch. Theres Ozi explorer, but using a laptop or notepad is awkward. Quote
67november Posted August 27, 2005 Report Posted August 27, 2005 Sharkbait you mean to say you're not part of the fugawi tribe take a look at www.delorme.com they have an extensive line of maps in many formats including GPS. Quote
