Terry Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 here are the maps topo canada then gpsquebec think I will be buying some maps from gpsquebec they sent me the screen shot from the area I want to buy,,nice of them
douG Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Ahhh, DanC. Now I see what you mean about these GPSQuebec maps. They have much more detail. Fiendishly expensive tho, especially compared to the TopoCanada I borrowed from a third party for a handshake and a smile.
Terry Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Posted May 31, 2007 yeah, 80 bucks for one region is a lot... but 300 for all of ontario isn't that bad...... maybe a few guys could go in together and get them
danc Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 yeah, 80 bucks for one region is a lot...but 300 for all of ontario isn't that bad...... maybe a few guys could go in together and get them Excellent idea Terry. That's how I got my maps.
brkygetr Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Hey Terry/Dan C... Are those QuebecMaps compatible with Garmin products, I like also like the detail, and how big is a region or map area??? for example how far does that Shining Tree map cover? thanks Brkygetr
danc Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 If you buy the cd, it automatically installs itself in MapSource. I have the entire province loaded on my Garmin on a 1 gig card. Nice, nice maps wherever you travel in the province.
Deano Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) I tend to believe mapsources version of the 560, although I haven't been there. The other looks way to smooth for a road up that way. I've been using mapsource for a while now and for the most part it's really good, only newer roads are not updated, but for trails, it's pretty good. Also does it autoroute?, really like the autorouting in mapsource. It is expensive though, considering TopoCanada is under $200 and you get all of Canada Edited June 1, 2007 by Deano
Terry Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) interesting so I got my gps track points to see which was right...looks like GPSquecbec is closer to what is right the road was moved and paved about 6 years ago topo canada has yet to update it Edited June 1, 2007 by Terry
Deano Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 Yes I agree then, it does look more acurate. My, you shot up and down that lake a lot. Terry. LOL With Canada maps going free, hopefully we'll see more acurate maps and better prices also. For now, I'll stick to mapsource. Came in handy when I was out in B.C.
