Land of Nipigon Adventure Maps
Find your Way
NOTE: All Maps and files on this page are in flux and are changing as the NEW LAND OF NIPIGON ADVENTURE GUIDE comes to like.
These Maps are designed to work in concert with the Land of Nipigon Adventure Guide. At the very least you should use the supplied LEGEND file which gives additional details on points represented on the maps.
The maps here are available in what they call georeferenced PDFs. This means when you load them in the FREE app Avenza Offline Maps app on your smartphone, they can turn your phone into a GPS. Allowing you to track yourself in real-time, create points, tracks and other simple GPS type functions right on your smartphone.
Avenza Offline Maps DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY SORT OF CELL SIGNAL – it works solely with the georeferenced PDF and the internal GPS in your smartphone. For more information and instructions for using Avenza visit https://www.nwoutdoors.ca/smaps/ (my online smartmap repository).
