How much is really updated on the maps?

I had an old Chrismar map, 2005. I got the new one for this springs trip. There are some new portages that were not on the old one.

I also compared the new Chrismar to my old McKenzie maps that are at least 15 yrs old. The difference was significant.

I can't speak for others, but I have better things to do than search for portages when they've been mis-marked on either the Fisher/McKenzie maps.

IMHO if that new Chrismar can save you from doing that even 1 time, it's worth the price.

I would advise anyone that has older Fisher/McKenzie maps to put the two side by side and go over your planned route. Depending on where your going, you might be pleasantly surprised.

I learned firsthand this trip how important it is to have up to date map info. I think Westwood could speak to that as well. ;)
