1:50000 maps of most of Canada. He's got some neat software that lets 

him calculate distances by "drawing" the planned route. It also shows 

him Lat. and Long. when he hovers the cursor over any given point, 

and these get entered into the GPS as waypoints. (We type the 

waypoint "name" onto the map before printing as well.)

 

I think he told me it cost a few hundred dollars (Cdn.) for the set 

of CDs, but at the price of paper topos, it was well worth it! (And 

there's hardly any storage issue with the set of CDs!)<<<<<

 

Darryl  Do you know the name of the software your friend bought?
