Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you all know that the map is now available to download onto
your Garmin GPS Device.  Its also included on my Across Canada Trais GPS Map
http://acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com
Oh ya, im assuming when updating this map that everyone is using the Ibycus
Topo .. it just makes it easier to use and figure out.

As it relates to OSM, i decided that i wont post the GPX tracks onto
OpenStreetMap, that is because the value of OSM holds true. .. Dont post any
tracks or roads or points, unless you have actually physically been there
and can remember the exact location.

My plan is still to go across Canada and do the entire Trans Canada Trail,
as its not complete, the route is still open to interpretation, so what im
thinking (and would like your advice on) is if i should be posting the
Across Canada Trails (virtual) route on OSM as i go along, and am updating
the GPS Map, to show the same thing. .
What i dont know, (and have to hear back) is if the entire canada map of OSM
can be loaded onto the Garmin. .. if the Ibycus topo will become like that.
. or would it be better if i just put my effort into 1 or the other??

So ya, im also looking for help, as id certainly like to help and make it
work.
... with enough great minds together... why not?
