For several months now, I have had the privilege to test and play
with MapSend Canada - Canadian maps that can be loaded into the Magellan Meridian
and 330 series of GPS receivers. I couldn't talk about it much before it was
released, but in May 2002 it hit the stores.
Now, it's Dec 2003 and I still haven't written a complete review! Sorry for the delay. It WILL be done.
For now; let me just tell you that
the maps are GOOD, with few minor shortcomings and I use them frequently.
Anyway; We are trying to find time to complete the review of it. Soon (hopefully), the
review will be posted in the "Canadian digest" section of http://www.gpsnuts.com/ As
a Canadian, I am naturally very interested in this product. Actually; I
should rephrase that. I am so excited about it that I can't wait any longer
to share at least some of the thoughts!
In the Canadian Digest, you will find reviews of some other, good, receiver-
loadable Canadian maps. I like them very much - they are excellent for my
home town area and several other spot areas in Canada. For the rest of
Canada they are useful but not that good.
The release of MapSend Canada is changing that. Now there are finally GPSR-
loadable maps that have very good road coverage for all of CANADA! As far
as I can see, the road and street detail and accuracy of even the smallest
and most obscure Canadian communities ranges from good to excellent!

Ps. At this moment; we may not have time to answer right away (all) detailed
questions. Please be patient and wait for the review to be published.
