I'm trying to find some DECENT electronic back road maps of Mid/Southern Vancouver Island. I have the Back Road Map Book (hard copy) for the island, but many of the logging roads are out of date or not present, and I'd rather have my maps on a GPS for obvious reasons. I see that many people use GPS's (Garmin Montana looks good), but I'm hearing that the maps are out-dated or just lack detail (Garmin's TOPO Canada 4 base map is getting poor reviews from BC backroad riders for lack of logging road and trail detail).

So far the best product I've found is cheap but fairly accurate (if antiquated) TOPO Maps App for, believe it or not, iPhone. At least it gives me most of the mains, and some spurs, plus the GPS function is great. But again, it's based on old Canadian GVT topomaps.

What are other people using? Any help, hints and ideas would be great. Surely the logging companies must be using something??!!
