Description
Description
Sea, Sky and Prairie
From the islands of Haida Gwaii, where ancient First Nations villages are hidden among the rainforest and orca whales swim the open Pacific Ocean, to the plains of eastern Alberta, home to a rich farming and ranching heritage that remains as strong as it ever was, the area covered by these GPS Maps is one of stark contrast and incredible adventure opportunity. The ancient trading routes of the Chilcotin steppe, the laid-back counterculture of the Kootenays, the sky-scraping peaks of the Rocky Mountains and the recreation-rich expanse of the Alberta foothills all combine to create one of the most stunning regions in Canada, and these GPS Maps are your ultimate guide to making the most out of your adventure.

In addition, we offer more recreational points and symbols than any other map source. From RV accessible to backcountry campsites, hiking to snowmobiling trailheads, fishing to paddling access points, we have your adventure covered. Our area classifications include mines and gravel pits, conservation and restricted areas, and a host of other features that help you to see where you can play.
