Better late than never for

"Better late than never for the 2025 edition, I’ve always loved BRMB maps for Garmin GPS DEFICES (currently own multiple devices including the new GPSMAP H1i Plus). I’ve have been a long time customer always updating every year with the kind discount you offer to existing customers. I’ve even added new trails for time to time. It’s wonder for to support such a wonderful Canadian business."

Yes my mistake, buyer beware,

"Yes my mistake, buyer beware, already had the maps and they offered updates paid and then when updating it says you already have the latest updates. Now that was a waste of money and some trickery from Backroads."

Outdated maps

"I purchased the Western Canada map on sd card Jan 2025 and received a 2023 sd card. When I called Backroads I was told to just update online but that feature to this day is still unavailable. You can only update for free within 60 days of purchase. Still waiting. . . . ."
