Does anyone have or use this mapping system. The question I have is: is it any good and is it worth it's money. Is the boundry between the zones ridgid or do they over lap and if they do, how foar do they over lap.

Thanks in advance for any possible helpon this.

I have Vol. 1 (southern Ont.) of the Ont. Topo 50 set. It is basically a set of regular topographical maps that you would have to buy individually, all put together to make up one big continuous map without overlap. You can use any of the available GPS co-ordinate systems to plot and save info onto your hard drive. I don't usually print it , but use it to check out a particular area from my computer. I believe that there are 4 different map scales that you can use to zoom into a particular area. I bought it a few years ago and have used it a fair bit. If you like to use of paper topos you would probably benefit.
