Objectives:

This project entailed acquisition and formatting of Canada wide base mapping at various scales down to 1:50000, geocoding of all Parks Canada, National Historical Sites, and the design, development and implementation of a MapInfo MapXtreme based Internet mapping solution seamlessly integrating this data.

Data Used:

• Geogratis (1:2 million)
• CanMap (1:50,000) full Canada coverage v3.0
• Parks Canada data (various scales)
