+goldwing.88 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Is there any free map software for geocachers to download that covers the southern part of British Columbia thats reasonably up to date? Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Check out http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/. I produce a set of topo maps that includes southern BC (and trail maps that include all of the province), but they are not routable if you are looking for that. Quote Link to comment

I just downloaded your map and it appears a significant portion of the data in your map is from OpenStreetMap. I know, because I recognize a significant number of features that I personally mapped out and added or have worked with in the Victoria area. You haven't mentioned anywhere that you're using this data, which you're legally bound to do by the OpenStreetMap license: You are free to copy, distribute, transmit and adapt our data, as long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors. There isn't a problem with you using this data, but you do need to credit those who made it possible. They've put a lot of work into it and deserve to be credited and respected. Quote Link to comment
