Ibycus Topo Description

The Ibycus Topo map project is an attempt to create an alternative map source for Garmin GPS receivers using publically available and distributable data. The government makes available all kinds of map data, but generally that map data isn't in a format that you can conveniently load on to a GPS receiver and take with you in the field. I've taken this data, and written a series of programs designed to bring these maps to your GPS. The underlying topo data comes from the Geogratis Website (The BNDT dataset). This is essentially the data you get on the government issue 1:50,000 topo maps. The road data comes from the Geobase website. This data at the moment does not have road names or address information, but the positional accuracy is very good (as compared to the StatsCan data set, which has road names and addresses, but poor accuracy).
