GPS Maps and Backroad Mapbooks are both mapping solutions, but they serve different purposes and offer different features.

GPS Maps, specifically those licensed by Garmin, provide detailed and comprehensive coverage of Canada for recreational users. They include topographic contours and summits, routable industry and forest service roads, campsites, multi-use and motorized trails, crown and private land areas, and much more. These maps are constantly updated with the newest information regarding roads, trails, and paddling routes, plus thousands of attractions you will encounter while travelling along Canada’s highways and backroads. They also feature handy tools like trip tracking and sharing and droppable waypoints.

On the other hand, Backroad Mapbooks are the industry leader in map detail and accuracy. They show clearly defined elevation contours, natural features such as creeks, streams, and wetlands, countless roads (including all the logging and industry roads left off other maps), multi-use and motorized trails, Crown and private land for most provinces, national, provincial and regional parks, and much more. They also provide more outdoor information than any other maps, including backroad attractions, fishing hotspots, hunting areas, paddling routes, national and provincial parks, recreation sites, multi-use and motorized trails, wildlife viewing areas, winter recreation areas, and backcountry huts and cabins. Each point or trailhead is supplemented with detailed written descriptions, stats, and directions.

In summary, while both GPS Maps and Backroad Mapbooks provide comprehensive mapping information, the key difference lies in their focus. GPS Maps are more focused on providing up-to-date outdoor recreation information and are compatible with Garmin GPS and Garmin Basecamp, while Backroad Mapbooks provide more detailed and accurate map details and are more focused on outdoor adventure information.
