Camrose Gun and Sportsman Show this weekend

Posted on: June 22, 2011

We’re thrilled to head to the first-ever Gun and Sportsman Show in Camrose this weekend. We’ll be showcasing our BushMap software all weekend. It’s the best set of routable backcountry maps money can buy, and covers all of Alberta and North Eastern British Columbia. With backcountry roads by name, Wildlife Management Units as the ‘smart’ background, contour lines, seismic lines, wellsites, known-access corridors, and hundreds of lakes with water depth contours – just to name a few features! - it’s no surprise we sold an absolute TON of these for Father’s Day! BushMap is a bundle - you’ll receive both an SD card for your Garmin GPS, as well as a DVD for your PC. The show starts Friday at 4 p.m, and runs all weekend. We hope to see you there!
