Garmin Topo Canada IMG Name Cross-Reference

In my efforts to build custom Garmin maps for my GPS, I had to cross-reference the Canadian standard 50K topographic sheet names with Garmin's IMG filenames. This proved rather difficult as Garmin doesn't seem to follow any logic in their naming convention. Maybe there's an easier way, but I just brute-forced it and deduced the names for Vancouver Island by trial and error.

I figured I'd upload the cross-reference table, just in case someone else wanted the same information.

More Vancouver Island Tracks for Download

Hi,

I've posted another couple of tracks for download, both in Google Earth KML and OziExplorer PLT:

• All the major powerline routes on Vancouver Island.
  A detailed description is HERE.
  The track is HERE.
  
  
• A bush camping spot on the San Juan river, near Port Renfrew, Vancouver Island.
  A detailed description is HERE.
  The track is HERE.

Enjoy, and don't forget to leave some feedback if you download a track... I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing all this but nobody really wants to know.

Route: Renfrew to Skutz Falls

Here's a section of the VMC 2006 Canada Day Dualsport race. It goes from Port Renfrew up to Skutz Falls. Parts of it are active logging road, even on Sundays, so be careful. Other parts include some really nice sections of single track.

All in all, it make a good back-route dualsport connector between the Sooke-Renfrew and the Cowichan Lake areas. There's a main road you can follow instead - but it's basically improved gravel - pretty boring on a dualsport, in my opinion.

You can download the tracks in Google Earth or OziExplorer formats HERE.
