Canada TOPO navigation

photogod · 05-22-08, 09:01 AM

Anybody out there know of any good TOPO software for the North Shore of Lake Superior, the Canadian side. I have all the Nat Geo State stuff but they don't go into Canada. I'm doing a 360 of Lake Superior this summer and would like to be able to know what the sights and camping are like. Thanks for any help.

Edit: I'm running a Garmin 60cs and I am hardwired into my laptop for a larger screen so I would like something that can run on my laptop.

I'm running MapSource Topo Canada and Map Point N.A. The MapSource Topo's are pritty good but don't have POI. Microsofts MapPoint or whatever there calling it these day has good road maps and an OK POI database. Stop by a AAA and have them do a trip plan there POI seem to be more up dated the anything I have seen.
