Map list legend

This is the legend for the TIMaps list.

Scale:

This is the scale in the format 1:(whatever) is shown in this column. The exact numbers are somewhat meaningless in a GPS map context. In general, however...

• larger numbers mean
  • smaller scale: less detail over bigger area
  • if you zoom in too far, map looks ragged
  • most useful when travelling long distances quickly, e.g., driving
• smaller numbers mean
  • larger scale: more detail over smaller area
  • if you zoom out too far, map may disappear from your GPS screen
  • most useful when travelling shorter distances more slowly, e.g., walking

Type:

• COMP: composite images, generally half LIDAR, half SAT
• LIDAR: black and white shaded images showing shape of the ground under the trees, from remote sensing with bare ground lidar
• ROAD: streets and roads, may show outlines of vegetated areas and other natural features such as lakes and rivers
• SAT: high-resolution satellite images
• TOPO: from old topographic maps
• TOPO2: from newer NRCan topographic database, still not really up to date in Yukon
