the goal of my map project is to create a gps compatible topographic map of vancouver island with water features, roads, trails and park boundaries. there will be other small things included like placenames, rapids, waterfalls, mountains and parking lots near some parks and other useful info for the outdoor explorer. and to then provide free map downloads to any who wish to use them.

if you have any suggestions or gps tracks of trails that are not on the map please send them to me and i will do my best to add them. send files to rob AT robloranger.ca

so who can use it?
at the moment the map is available for garmin gps only, on either mac, pc or (u)nix computers. a version for lowrance and magellan will hopefully be available someday, if anyone has much experience here i would be interested.

i hope by version 2 i will have added off road routing for hikers and cyclists, this would use roads but also any trails or resource roads as well.
