Q: Into which GPS can I upload the maps ?

A: The maps can be uploaded in compatible GARMIN ^® GPS, that allow the upload of maps. If you would like to be notified if and when we have maps compatible with other makes of GPS receivers, send an email to Andrew at sales@canadianmaps.ca  

Q: Are the maps better than GARMIN Topo Canada ?

A: "Better" depends on your requirements. Each of our maps covers a smaller area but offers more detailed coverage of the area. A picture is worth a thousand words so...  see some screenshots.

Q: What feature are shown on your GPS maps ?

A:  Land cover, orchards, swamps, trails, roads and even locations of individual buildings and structures are just a tip of the iceberg! The actual list of the features is simply too long to describe it here because, virtually all of the features from the highly detailed provincial maps are included. Proof is in the pudding so... please, try our free demo maps and see for yourself. 

Q: Why can't I see the contour lines after loading a map in my GPS ?

A: Make sure the details parameter in your GPS is set to "THE MOST DETAILS".

Q: What is the difference between a vector map and a raster map (paper map, numeric map) ?

A: A vector map allows zooming without any lost of image quality. Furthermore, it allows you to search for things (ex: lakes, rivers, etc). Vector maps also allow a larger quantity of information (ex: a vector map needs about 400k, the raster equivalent needs between 5MB and 30MB of memory space).

Q: What are the delays for delivery ?

A: Normally: Less than 24 hours (on business days). In few, rare cases, it may take up to 3 working days.

Q: Can I damage my GPS with your maps ?

A: No, a map is like a waypoint, a track or a route. It is NOT a program that the receiver is executing. It is data that the software in your receiver can read and display.

Q: Do I have to purchase another software to use your maps ?

A: No, everything you need is provided in an easy installation file.

Q: Can I load your maps and GARMIN MapSource ^® maps at the same time ?

A: Yes. You can load our maps by selecting them and Garmin maps in your MapSource software.
