"We have been into outdoor adventures and backroading since about 2003, and we have travelled to many very remote regions. The Backroad Mapbook Series we treat as our "outdoor recreational bible" when we go on our excursions. There is very useful information regarding hiking, fishing, trails, recreational sites, and much more information. If you're as keen as we are about travelling in the wilderness, for outdoor adventures, then this is the mapbook series for you. It works especially good with all GPS units. One example of a trip that we went on was along the Granisle Connector up in Northern BC, and we were able to look at the coordinates in the mapbook, and match them up with the GPS unit that we have, and we knew exactly where we were!!! For all outdoor adventures these books or the GPS series is an absolute must!"
“Backroad Mapbooks have bridged the gap between detailed topographic maps and large-scale highway maps or travel guidebooks. They are a very useful tool for anyone who's ever tried to navigate their way around gravel roads, natural features such as rivers, lakes and wetlands or to find a trailhead or a river put-in. Even if you own a GPS, there's something nice about having paper in your hands.”
“It was worth the wait; the Manitoba mapbook is really fascinating. As the province closest to my new home (Dallas), I'm already getting ideas for escaping the summer heat next year. The cartography is tremendous, even at the 1:1000000 scale showing every lake.”
“These are amazing books for anyone who likes to venture into new areas. Found some nice trails back to some great backcountry lakes with my mapbooks.”
