JeffvS Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I am looking for the best Topo map of BC/ or even just Vancouver Island. I would really appreciate feedback. And free is preferred! Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 For printing or for use on a GPS? If on a GPS, Google "Ibycus topo". They are Garmin compatible topo maps for the country. If printed, they are available free at the Feds website. http://maps.nrcan.gc.ca/index_e.php http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/cantopo/ Quote Link to comment

rwolf Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I was just there and ended up buying the topo of west Canada for my trip. Unfortunately I ran into the same thing you are and could not find any free topo maps of the area. What area are you going to hike? I stayed in Victoria and hiked around that area, Gowland Todd, Botany beach, part of the Marine trail, GoldStream looked nice but I ran out of time. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 It is available. You need to download via a torrent site. Here: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4492135/Ib...1_-_Zip_Version These are free and better than Garmin's Topo Canada. http://www.ibycus.com/ibycustopo/ Quote Link to comment
rws Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) I am looking for the best Topo map of BC/ or even just Vancouver Island. I would really appreciate feedback. And free is preferred! I repackaged a smaller dataset of Ibycus Topo (according to licence agreement http://www.ibycus.com/ibycustopo/#Legal) to include the Vancouver\Vancouver Island area and created an installable mapset for Mapsource. Vancouver\Vancouver Island Area Topo Map . Edited October 7, 2009 by rws Quote Link to comment
