Step 1 - Mapping Software.

A common program used is Oziexplorer.

Step 2 - Base Data

Download Data for maps. GeoGratis has topographic and satellite imagery available for download.

• GeoGratis - Natural Resources Canada
  • Vector Data (data, .shp, .E00, .gml formats)
  • Raster Data (images, .pdf, .tif, .jpg, .gif formats)
  • Satellite Imagery (Landsat 7)

Step 3 - Import Base Data

Open the data using Oziexplorer. Specific data sets contain GeoTiff images which are imported in to Oziexplorer without the need for calibrating the map. Other images need calibration in Oziexplorer for a spatial reference.

Step 4 - Import User Data

Add your shapefiles and points to the map for your specific trails of campsites. Data is also available from here.

Step 5 - Trip Planning

Print the map. Data in Oziexplorer can be used for planning routes.

For more information see the Trip Planning section.
