+Team KRHake Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hello! I'm going to visit Toronto next week and thereafter I'm going to travel east to Halifax. My question: Do you know a website, where I can find an actual map of Eastern Canada showing the caches in this area? That would simplify my search for caches along my planned routing. Thank you, juliet querbeet Quote Link to comment
+PDOP's Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Juliet Have a look at the maps on Buxley's Waypoints website.. You can also import cache waypoints to MS Streets and Trips which has detailed maps for Canada. Quote Link to comment
+Ducky Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 as PDOP's said streets and trips is the way to go if you want to plan a caching route. I use it all the time here in Nova Scotia to plan trips. Quote Link to comment
+Team KRHake Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi! Many thanks for your answers. I already found the Buxley Page, but hoped to get a more detailled map. Anyway, now we have a long list of caches to visit and I hope we will enjoy geocaching in Canada as much as here in Europe. Greeting, juliet querbeet Quote Link to comment
+Insp Gadget Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hmmmm, the city of Karlsruhe says something to me. I visited Germany in 2001 and it may have been a spot we stopped at. I agree with what the others say here. run a pocket query for each province you will be driving through and import that data into Streets and trips. It will show you a nice map that you can zoom in on and see exactly where those caches are hidden. Welcome to Canada and I hope you have a wonderful trip! If you plan on passing through northern New Brunswick, drop me a line and maybe we can get together for a few hours of caching! It will give me a chance to practice my VERY limited German as well!

I'm not sure about Quebec and the maritme provinces but having just completed a trip from Alberta to Ontario I know you'll need multiple queries for Ontario. Hopefully you can sort out everything to get as few as possible queries to catch all the caches along your route. Paperless caching with a PDA is the way to go on road trips. Quote Link to comment
The Big Kid Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I am not sure how to get to it through the gc.com site but, there is a link, you need to go through www.gpscentral.ca then click on the geocaching logo near the top, then they offer a link to a cache map of Canada. It links you into the gc site, but I can never find it that way. It is fairly simple to use, basic pan/ zoom buttons then when you get close enough it can identify caches. Its what I use for trip planning. No roads show up, but if you find a cache near your start you can look in the expected directions. Quote Link to comment

+Binrat Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I have most if not all caches covering from the Quebec border to around Brighton and on up to the Ottawa Valley all set up on MS Streets and Trips if it helps. I can sent the file or a picture but I will not be home til the weekend. I recommend getting off HWY 401 at Gananoque and hitting the Thousand Islands Parkway as there are a number of quick and easy caches along this route. If you want the map or the file just email me through my profile and will be glad to help out, I should be home Fri evening. Binrat Quote Link to comment
CADPAT Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 You can just use the following postal code (B4C 4B7). It's for Lower Sackville but if you scan your search out from it you can get caches for Halifax. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment
+Team KRHake Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Hello! Thanks to everybody for the nice answers... We are already back to Germany, but we enjoyed our stay and geocaching in Canada very much. We found some interesting caches and met many nice people during our journey. We discovered some beautiful spots, we would not have visitedwirhout geocaching. Bye, juliet querbeet and Tobiwan Quote Link to comment
