Map Legend

Unique to the Backroad GPS Maps are our Custom or Backroad POI sets. Within each province we have close to 100,000 searchable points. You can use these to help navigate by selecting the Whereto and then Go! option or read what each site offers through the More option. This added feature to our GPS Maps gives you the descriptions or write-ups of most recreation sites that have been geo-referenced from the popular Backroad Mapbook guidebook series.

More Roads and Trails

No other GPS map source has as many roads or trails as the Backroad GPS Maps and we have the statistics to prove it. In addition, you will find we offer better road classifications to help you determine Main Industrial or Logging Roads from those rarely travelled side or Unclassified Road. Further, we separate trails into Multi-Use for hikers, bikers, horseback riders, cross-country skiers and more as well as ATV/Motorized Trails and Snowmobile Trails. This information is continually being updated, added to and refined so be sure to take advantage of our Update Program.
