This is the place I go for my topo's. www.maptown.com (http://www.maptown.com) They are online but you can see what your looking for.

I bought a set of 4 CD's a while back that has the whole of BC for the price of 5 maps. You can print maps all day long if you like.

They're made by Touratech in Que. Around $100 when I got them. But now I've got a Garmin like Jeeper, I seldom use them either!

If you want a hard copy go to Mountain Equipment Coop. They have a HUGE selection. I have Garmin Topo for Canada and use it. But at MEC they can help ya out.

Nixon's no longer exists.
I get mine online from Crown Publications in Victoria. 12 bucks apiece.
There's another place downtown on Broadway with a good selection.
Best map outfit I've come across is Clover Point Cartographics. They make an excellent map @ 1:20 000 scale. That can add up in cost if you're covering lots of ground though.
