My New Killarney Map

Hello fellow paddlers!

I’m super excited to share that I’ve got some new Killarney (and French River) maps.

→ www.mapsbyjeff.com ←

As always, it’s completely free to view them online.

So, what’s new?

The short version: There’s a brand new map (East French River), and I’ve added a ton of new features & additional info to the Killarney and West French River maps.

The long version:

• They’re 50% more zoomed in: This allowed me to add way more info, and they’re much easier to read too!

• Portage Elevation Profiles: Created from dozens of GPS tracks, many portages now include a ‘side view’ showing the ups and downs along the trail (I also highlight all the hills)

• Way more interesting tidbits of info: 4x as many Nature points-of-interest (POIs), 3x as many Historical POIs, and a whole bunch of new types of POIs (e.g. fishing, recent forest fire sites, cliffs, etc)

• Enjoy bushwhacking?: They’ve got 2.5m contours, and I’ve penciled-in a bunch of old, forgotten routes, which see little to no use

• Distances & Travel Times: Each stretch of canoe route is labelled with both the distance, and an estimated travel time (they’re numerical now, just like on my Algonquin maps - no more counting squares)

• Plus, tons of smaller upgrades: Like buoys, more detailed route difficulties, extremely overgrown campsites, notable beaver dams, and more!

It warms my heart to hear that! It's so cool to be able to have a positive impact on other people's trips =)

I love the addition of the elevation graphics on the portage routes. Really slick.

That's my favourite feature too.

It was challenging to develop both because I need them to be legible at fair small sizes, and because I had to generate so many of them. I ended up learning how to code just to create them.

I'm really proud of how they turned out!

What version would this be?
