Backroad GPS TOPO Maps - SD Card - Nova Scotia

Discover the Jewel of the Maritimes

Known for its rugged Atlantic coastline, a unique mix of Acadian and Celtic culture and a rich fishing heritage, Nova Scotia offers a quintessential Maritime experience for backroads explorers and outdoor adventurers alike. Lighthouses and traditional villages dot the coast, while puffins and whales swim just offshore. To the north, Cape Breton Island offers a vast and pristine wilderness just waiting to be explored, with awe-inspiring views of the Atlantic Ocean that are surprisingly accessible. Scenic roadways crisscross the province, allowing you to take it all in with ease, and there are no shortage of hiking and cycling trails for a slower-paced exploration of this Maritime jewel.

Unique Road Classifications

Unique to the Backroad GPS Maps are our enhanced road classifications that help you distinguish the highways from the logging roads and the main roads from the side roads. This extra level of road classification helps you to know which roads can be driven in a car and which ones should be left to a four-wheel drive vehicle or ATV.

In addition, we offer more recreational points and symbols than any other map source. From RV accessible to backcountry campsites, hiking to snowmobiling trailheads, fishing to paddling access points, we have your adventure covered. Our area classifications include mines and gravel pits, conservation and restricted areas, and a host of other features that help you to see where you can play.

Get More Roads and Trails

Boasting more roads and trails than any other GPS maps, our road tracking classifications allow you to easily distinguish main industrial or logging roads from rarely travelled unclassified roads. Access close to 50,000 km of routable city and rural roads, with 3 levels of industry roads (forest service, resource and recreational) along with almost 50,000 km of non-routable roads including unclassified and private roads. Over 2,800 km of multi-use trails are separated for use by hikers, bikers and horseback riders, along with close to 9,000 km of ATV and Snowmobile motorized trails. Trails are updated and expanded with the help of government agencies, off-road clubs and customers who contribute their own data.
