Re: [obc] Streets Trips 2002
I've been using a $19.95 package that you can get at most gas station. It is made by Mapart Publishing (www.mapart.com) and is basically a scan of the paper map. The nice thing about it is that it shows all the bike paths and you can measure a route with a few clicks. While it shows several cities around Ottawa, it is limited when using it in between cities and it does not cover the Gatineau park completely.

Does it include elevations or calculate grades? Can it export to a GPS? Tom On Sunday, September 23, 2001 at 13:27, Bob Hicks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on [obc] Streets Trips 2002, saying..
