Colin Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 When researching a climb in the U.S., I usually just go to topozone.com to see what's up, but it deosn't extend into B.C. Does anyone know of a similar site (free, online topo maps) for Canada? Quote
jordop Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 Nothin comparable for free; best just to amass a collection of the real sheets, give the govt more $$, some of it will trickle downand maybe I can get a real job. Or you could photocopy them at UBC or a similar facility with a map copier. Quote
philfort Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 Try http://toporama.cits.rncan.gc.ca The maps are actually identical (contour-wise) as the 1:50000 paper maps, except: they're squished horizontally, the names of peaks or towns aren't on them, and there are no elevations marked. They kind of suck. They also have aerial photos of some mapsheets, but again, they suck compared to what you can get on terraserver for the US. Quote
PaulB Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 They're not online (or free) but you can get Canadian topo maps on CD. Check out http://www.mapconnection.com/e5125.html Quote
philfort Posted December 4, 2002 Posted December 4, 2002 PS.,I've ordered paper ones from maptown before. They arrived quickly to Seattle, like in 2 days or something. Quote
