jdawg7 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I have a Garmin leg hcx and was wondering if anyone around Calgary or in Alberta has downloaded/bought the Canada west or just any of the Canada Topo maps and if it was worth it. Are they pretty good for Alberta and such? How do you like them. Thanks. Jeff Quote Link to comment

Do you know how I can load the ibycus map with a mac? Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 He has a MAC version. As his site is down, it is not available ATM. If you have access to a PC, you could convert the PC version. Or, as you are in Calgary and so is Ibycus, maybe you could bribe him to burn you a DVD.... Quote Link to comment
