Google Earth Mapping
"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 have 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 back country 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."
