I am looking for detailed topography maps for Ontario Canada. There is a website that has free maps. I can get what I want in a .tiff file. Can I use these maps in Locus. If so, how? Is there another way to use the topo maps from this site?

I would like the map information in tile #41 to be accessible in my tablet for use off-line.

There are other GPS apps that I can use which allow the use of maps from this site, but the apps are not as good as yours. I really want to use your app, but it is no good to me if I can not get detailed topo information.

I found this site

http://www.ibycus.com/ibycustopo/

which was made by a guy that took public map information and converted it to work in Garmin GPS. I used this file information in my handheld Garmin which I have since sold. The files are .img files. They are not from Garmin, but will work in Garmin. I do not think that Locus will work with .img files either correct?

I am not very computer savy, but will try anything to get Locus to have good detailed topo maps of Ontario Canada for the area shown in tile #41. I really have no need for any other areas than that.

As mentioned I sold my Garmin and now plan on using a Toshiba Thrive tablet with Locus and an external bluetooth GPS antenna for my trips in Canada. I just need detailed maps to allow this solution to be workable for me.

Please let me know if you have a solution for me. Thank you.
