FUGAWI TOURATEL PARTNERS WITH MYTOPO
TO OFFER PROFESSIONALLY PRINTED MAPS


High quality, poster-sized, navigation-ready, topographic maps for the
US and Canada, and aerial maps for the US now available

TORONTO, Canada – Northport Systems has partnered with MyTopo to offer site visitors to the new Fugawi Touratel web portal (www.touratel.com) the option to order high quality, poster-sized, navigation-ready, topographic maps for the US and Canada, and aerial maps for the US. The maps start at $9.95 and are printed and shipped within 24 hours.

Visitors to www.touratel.com can view and print topographic maps at no charge on the site, or can choose to tailor make a poster-sized, custom-centered map via a five-step online process, powered by MyTopo. The map will be printed to the customer’s specification (scale, size, paper choice, title, and grid) and shipped within twenty-four hours. The maps are GPS navigation-ready, with accurate scale bars, north arrow diagrams and declination, and detailed navigation grids.

MyTopo offers the choice of a high quality glossy paper, well-suited for framing; a waterproof and tear-resistant paper, with waterproof and UV-fade resistant inks, which makes for a nearly indestructible field map; or a laminated finish, which is perfect for marking up with dry erase pens.

“We are pleased to join with Fugawi Touratel to offer their customers the convenience of ordering our custom-designed maps via their new website, which is sure to be a popular site for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals, and the many people who already rely on Fugawi’s popular mapping software and products,” said Kevin Toohill, ceo and founder of MyTopo.

Fugawi Touratel is owned by GPS software manufacturer, Northport Systems. The new site allows visitors to view and print Canadian and US topographic maps from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) as well as access Fugawi Touratel map software for a wide variety of cell phones. The topographic maps are available at multiple scale choices, and can be viewed through an intuitive tab-based interface along with high quality aerial photos and Google™ maps.
