I compared the geotiffs with the WMS and the content is identical for the maps I compared, but the format is better on the WMS. On NRCan's Geogratis website there is a selection of maps that have been updated, but it is only a very limited coverage. So AFAICT right now the WMS is definitely worth loading. I believe the scans of the old topos should be available for free (there is an iPhone app that is free that uses them) but I haven't been able to locate them. -- John Abraham [email protected] _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
