Garmin topo or inland lakes ?

[Can_38]

I have a Garmin dakota unit loaded with city streets map. This map does not show the river system (Montreal River) I fish every June . Does anyone have either of the two mentioned maps loaded on a Garmin device.

I've got Topo on my computer I use for my Etrex

Can you zoom in enough to see the Montreal river as it connects up to lady Evelyn ?

[chris.brock]

yeah, it zooms right in, the actual connection has no detail though, just a blue line at Mattawapika Dam

 

I tried to paste a picture of it, but couldn't figure out how to do it (if possible?)

 

are you concerned about how much detail you can see?

Would like to know where I am in relation to camp.

You can also try Ibycus maps (free) or Backroad Mapbooks (paid).

I paid the Ibycus guy $20 and he sent a DVD to me with topos for all of Canada. I guess I could have done it myself if I'd spent some time figuring it all out, but it didn't seem worth the bother.

I got the Ibycus mapping 3 or 4 years ago when it was downloadable from the website. The install was pretty easy. I think you have to use Bit-torrent to get the free one now but I assume the install process is still pretty similar. I don't know if the guy regularly updates his mapping or not. I assume the others are more current?

Yup, Ibycus is available on a number of torrent sites. I've also use the Garmin Ontario Topo v4 quite a bit.
