Free Canadian topographic maps in Garmin's format are avialable from The Ibycus Topo Map Project.



The following samples of topographic maps are from the websites of the various vendors. The sample maps provided on their web sites are from different locations across Canada so it was not possible to compare maps of the same area on this page.

The samples are shown in JPEG format which may be of lower quality than the original format. Samples in their original formats (or the source website) are available by clicking on the link beside the thumbnail.

A side by side comparison of all the maps in JPEG format is also provided.

A comparison in PNG format of the three maps sold in this format is available by clicking here (581 KB)

Additional samples of digital mapping and satellite photos can be found at Canadian Information Systems
