One of the biggest obstacle's to overcome is the amount of mapping involved. There is no one single map resource for a trip of this magnitude , all the mapping must be pieced together from a multitude of sources. I'm kinda hoping that this site can become that shared resource on the internet , that other trippers can turn to for answers and share their experiences as well , for the grand Trans-Canadian canoe experience.
Over the last 2 months (and still continuing :-\) , I having been compiling the route using the Garmin BaseCamp software and Google Earth to encompass all the information that I am able to obtain , either from the internet , through guide books , city and provincial park maps into a giant database of backcountry information. From remote campsites , upstream and downstream portage landings and suitable food and fuel resupply points in-between , as well as points of cultural interest too .
Please remember that these maps are always meant to be used in conjunction with actual topographic maps and are not a replacement for them ! The goal is supply some detailed information that just isn't on the topos.
Download links are in the Google Earth Route Map section of the right-hand side.
