Title: Backroad Alberta book/ SD card?
Post by: Vinman on August 09, 2010, 03:21:03 PM
Anybody use the Backroad Alberta electronic book? I am thinking about getting the SD card for my GPS but for $150.00 I'd like to hear some opinions from those who used the card in their GPS.
This is the what I'm refering to:

Thanks in advance,

Was that $75 for 2 SD cards?  I only saw the Alberta OR BC card for $150.00 EACH.

if you go to the actual backroads site (out of BC) you can order specific regions. The Southern Alberta covered all of Waiporous, Fallen Timber, Burnt Timber and down South to places unnamed ;)
i also got the Radium area that includes a lot of areas we use. They were $75 each.
