RETURNS - What is your return policy on Backroad GPS Maps?
We will not accept returns on any digital products if the packaging is open.

Proof of purchase is required.

REPLACEMENTS - What if my Backroad GPS Map SD card no longer works?
Damaged SD cards can be exchanged under the following guidelines:

  • If the damage to the SD card happens within 60 days from the date of purchase (registration and proof of purchase required), we will replace your SD card for free. You will need to return the defective SD card to us in its original packaging.
  • If the damage to the SD card happens after 60 days, but within one year of purchase (registration and proof of purchase required), a fee will be charged for the new SD card. You will need to return the defective SD card to us in its original packaging.

    The customer is responsible for all return shipping charges for the product. A replacement item will be issued once we receive the returned merchandise.

RESALE - What if I buy a second-hand Backroad GPS Map from someone?
If you buy or are given a second-hand SD card, we cannot support it because the license is registered to another user’s account. These cards cannot be used for updates or the computer maps for downloads.

UPGRADES - Can I upgrade my provincial GPS Map to one of the Combo GPS Maps?
Yes. You will need to call us, pay the price difference and send us the old card to update it. Contact our tech support for details.

SD CARD SIZES - Can I purchase a larger SD card for my maps?
Yes. You can upgrade your card size to 16GB or 32GB for a fee.
Contact our tech support for details.

Yes. DVDs can be exchanged for SD cards for a fee. Unfortunately, we no longer offer DVD versions of our maps.

Yes. We have a clubs and organizations discount for these types of groups. Contact our customer support for more information.

MAP UPDATES - How can I send you GPS tracks and waypoints for missing data or corrections?
We offer free updates for GPS users in exchange for tracks and waypoints. New trails, campsites, boat launches, gates, or other Points of Interest help us improve our maps by relying on user-supplied data from the backcountry.
