A family-run company based in Banff, our cartographers use the latest in digital mapping technology to create a distinctive colour palette for shaded relief that gives a clear and accurate portrayal of topographic information and vegetation zones. Unlike many other map publishers, we don’t rely solely on GIS data; instead we have local outdoor enthusiasts in the field with handheld GPS to check for trail accuracy and we work closely with land management agencies to fact-check and proof our maps. There are maps, and there are maps, but there aren't many maps like these. Next time you go hiking, biking, skiing or riding in the Rockies, pick up a Gem Trek recreation map first. Topo maps and guide in one, they feature along with roads, trails and the usual contour lines and mountain elevations points of interest; lodge, hostel and alpine hut locations; front- and backcountry campgrounds; viewpoints; relief shading; photos of flora, fauna and great views; trail tips; emergency numbers and trail descriptions. --Westworld magazine Gem Trek maps are of high quality, great to look at and contain lots of accurate, practical and up-to-date information. ― Bill Corbett, outdoor writer Gem Trek offers the best maps for Canadian Rockies recreationists. ― Bed Gadd, author of Handbook of the Canadian Rockies. Hands down, the best maps I’ve ever used. ― Trevor R., Amazon.com review Just wanted to let you know that we stumbled across your maps in an outfitting store in Edmonton. We were so overjoyed with the quality of the one we bought, we drove back and bought another two for different areas. We sat down for hours just staring and learning all about the trails and mountains. It is so awesome! Thanks for the great work you did. ― Andrea L, Edmonton, Alberta Gem Trek’s beautiful and practical maps provide me just about everything I need to plan my visit to the Canadian Rockies. ― Kirby L, Federal Way, Washington I am an Honours student in Geography at Memorial University of Newfoundland. This past summer, I had a four-month position in Calgary. On my days off, I used your Banff & Mt. Assiniboine map. During four years of research and endless hours of cartographic work, I have analyzed many maps. I must congratulate you on the superior graphics and use of attractive colour incorporated into your design. In my opinion your maps are the best there are for the intended purpose. ― Peter H., St. John’s, Newfoundland Gem Trek Maps. Not Apps. ― Paul P., Calgary, Alberta My maps arrived today and I must say, they are much nicer than I expected. I knew that Gem Trek was the final word in maps of the Canadian Rockies, but for some reason, expected the usual over-priced, gas station-quality maps we are accustomed to out here on the East Coast. Yours are absolutely beautiful! I suspect that’s because they are made by people who truly care that the products and services they provide are of the highest quality, and at very reasonable prices. In an age of corporate mega-mergers, this is extremely refreshing. ― Tom M., Baltimore, Maryland --undefined Gem Trek offers
