New Ontario Maps - Red Pine Mapping

[SRX Boy]

I just noticed that Red Pine Mapping has just released new OFSC approved GPS maps!! They are pricy - $75!! Anyone use them yet or know how different they are from the maps Red Pine had previously??

Are they still in business?
i have tried to contact them with no luck

I'm not sure - I've sent an email, no reply yet. Website would suggest they are still in business - the new ON maps must be real recent.

I bought it last night. This map is routable (on Garmin's) which I believe the prior ones were just a map overlay.

thanks for you note - the prior ones we not routable. A couple questions if I may:

1. Does the map come with a base map (ie roads etc) or do you simply overlap the snowmobile maps over top your road or topo maps?

2. Does he still allow 3 downloads? I have to GPS units I'd like loaded.

3. Which GPS are you using? How do the maps look? Do the colours show up well?

Thanks for your help!

I'm using a Garmin 60csx. The trails are very prominent and well defined and I am quite excited to see how the routing works. As for downloading it you have 10 days and/or 5 downloads to retrieve it (its just over 100mb). Once it is on your computer I don't think there is any restriction on the number of GPS's you can load it too (legally I would think it would be 1). The map is all inclusive with roads/rivers.
