Hi,
I am considering purchasing Backroads Maps MB for a river trip. Can you tell me if rapids are marked on rivers as they are on Canada Natural Resources’ online Toporama maps?
Thank you,
Christian
I have 2 Backroads maps sd cards for Newfoundland. When I use them in my Garmin alpha or astra they cause problems with my gps. I can use a local card and there’s no problem. Garmin says that a corrupt sd card can the problem I’m having. When I’m hunting and have my maps open the gps freezes up and shuts off. Is there anything that can be done with the cards?

Thank you so much for your interest in the GPS Maps Updates! We’re excited to share that we’re working on enhancing our GPS Update system, and we expect the new version to be ready in just a couple of weeks. We truly appreciate your patience and support as we make these improvements!
Good Day
can you advise when the web site will be able to get a map up-date? I purchased a SD card from a local supplier here in Newfoundland and I was told I could up-date to a newer version.
Thanks
