+Couparangus Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I'm in the GTA area. Does anyone know where to get printed topo maps of various islands around the Caribbean? I need some poster-sized ones of various islands. Thanks! C-A Quote Link to comment
+Rogue_monkey Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 try Lebaron's, mountain equipment co-op, or hikers haven. Quote Link to comment

They are owned by European Bound so there is a good chance they can accomodate International requirements. I'll let you know. Olar Quote Link to comment
+Gonzo-YT Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I have heard that good mapping data can be hard to come by in less-developed countries. Not sure about the Caribbean, but definitely an issue in South America. From what I understand you might end up getting maps that are U.S. in origin, and may not be that detailed or accurate.

gm100guy Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 (edited) Try here I think they have more then they show on web site. They have marine charts I hate to ask but here is google search I did and found some places that look like they have maps Edited August 28, 2004 by gm100guy Quote Link to comment
+Couparangus Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 Thank you all! Yes, Olar, if you're over there ask if they have 'em! Barbados is the primary one I need followed by St Lucia. I'll follow up the other leads tomorrow. Cheers! C-A Quote Link to comment

gm100guy Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 This link I went through some of the google search with the crappy weather today. This place seems to have what you want. Quote Link to comment
+Couparangus Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 If you just want to look U of T has them http://atlantis.chass.utoronto.ca/maplib/cgi-bin/topo.pl as does York. Not sure if they're available on loan. Thanks HO! It has a call number of 1986. Hmmm...I wonder if that's the most recent survey? The best part about this is I'm probably going down there for work in a few weeks, but I'm sure I'll have time to grab the six caches on the island. Cheers! Coupar-Angus Quote Link to comment
+Couparangus Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 Just a quick reply that I struck out on finding these maps here. I will try somewhere in the US tomorrow. C-A Quote Link to comment
