Domino Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 It all depends on how much you want to spend. There some new option now. The garmin GPSMAP 60Cx/CSx were very good choice. Now there is a Garmin Nuvi 550? that is dual street and weatherproof, or the Oregon w/ touch screen. Let the debates begin..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reved Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 So, where can you download ontario snowmobile trail maps? There are no official maps put out by the OFSC! There are maps that have been created by myself and others. These maps are always a work in progress, do to the nature of the trails system. I would imagine there is a reroute on a weekly basis, somewhere in the province. Combining local signage and District maps with the GPS maps is the way I go.

Now there is a Garmin Nuvi 550? that is dual street and weatherproof, or the Oregon w/ touch screen. Wouldn't recommend the Zumo for trail riding as it's off-road capabilities are minimal. It has the track handling limitations that plague most of the Nuvi models as well. The Zumo is really meant for motorcycles that stay on-road.
