Unlock the Outdoors with 25% Off! Ends December 2nd, 2024
Here at Backroad Maps, we are excited to announce the launch of the new BRMB Maps App, which is available for download on your smartphone or tablet. The app features a brand-new map style, offline maps, location-tracking tools and customizable adventure layers. This dynamic new mapping system is sure to draw more GPS users to their smartphones, but those venturing deeper and longer into the backcountry might still prefer the GPS maps for Garmin Devices. Alternatevely, digital map customers can also download the digital versions of each Backroad & Fishing Mapbook in PDF format for easy access on a tablet or computer.
With so many options available, you may be unsure which format is best for you. Let's explore the differences in more detail!
Compatibility: Our Backroad GPS Maps are designed to be compatible with most Garmin GPS Vehicle or Outdoor models made in 2012 and later that accept SD or Micro-SD cards. You can check if your unit is compatible here.
Map Coverage: With the GPS Maps, you can choose a province or combination of provinces, making them a good choice for those that want to explore locally.
Offline Use: The maps are always saved into the microSD Card, meaning users can always view the maps, even in the deep backcountry with no cell phone service.
Best for remote or multi-day adventures: GPS units are designed to withstand thermal changes, have a better battery life than a smartphone, and are water-resistant. They also have better reception and will show your exact position on the map, even in remote backcountry areas. For this reason, the Backroad GPS Maps are a great option for multi-day excursions into the wilderness.
Starting at $69.95
