Re: Garmin Metroguide Canada v5 Maps

Hi Lancet,

to the forum.

You didn't switch on the satellite view in Google Maps. If you do, you will see that those are not trails and they are not in the park. They are the actual streets through those condominium complexes.

Roads in condo complexes like that are normally private. Mapmakers usually use an attribute for the roads that makes it clear they are not public roads. Unfortunately it usually means that navigation software interprets them as "trail" or "alley".

Bottom line: Metroguide Canada is right on for showing those roads. What they're messed up on is that they haven't marked the park green so it looks like the area around Oakmount Cres is part of the park. The park boundary actually runs in an arc that starts at Buxton St, curves around behind Oakmount Cr and ends at Dufferin Ave.

Hope that helps.
