FUGAWI TOURATEL UNVEILS ULTIMATE ONLINE CANADIAN
TOPO MAP RESOURCE

Powerful Web 2.0 based mapping resource offers one stop shop for free Canadian Maps

TORONTO, Canada – GPS software manufacturer Northport Systems, Inc., announced today upgrades to its powerful online map resource, Fugawi Touratel. An interactive mapping website targeting outdoor enthusiasts, Fugawi Touratel allows users to view and print Canadian and US topographic maps from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Fugawi is the first and only company to provide both Canadian and U.S. topo maps in one place. In addition to its new comprehensive collection of Canadian topographic data, Touratel.com now supports faster zoom and enhanced print capabilities including grid lines and large format printing.

“We are pleased to offer Canadian and U.S. topographic maps to the public at no charge though our new web resource, touratel.com,” said Robin Martel, president of Northport Systems. “With the addition of a complete set of topographic maps from Natural Resources Canada to our Fugawi Touratel web services, we are well-positioned for growth into new applications for the Canadian market.”

Designed to enhance outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and more, the touratel.com website is a free service enabling users to view and print copies of high quality maps. The site contains NRCan maps in 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 scales for all Canadian Provinces, and USGS topographic maps for the USA, including Hawaii and Alaska, at all available scales, including 1:24,000, 1:100,000 and 1:250,000. Also available through the intuitive tab-based interface are high quality aerial photos and Google™ maps so the user can review their area of interest utilizing several different map sources. Users can zoom in to any location and print paper copies to take with them.
