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.

> Version 2002 is, on first look, a fairly significant improvement to the
database. In Ottawa, for

between Ottawa and Hull; 2002

ferry to Vermont. This

previous CD-ROM.
