I’m constantly blown away by the amazing Geo Tech talent that we have coming out of Canada… today we have details of another cool webmap service coming from North of 49 – enter MapSherpa (from DM Solutions Group, Ottawa). MapSherpa is a user friendly we-service enabling users (likely the outdoor enthusiast looking for a map for a hike, bicycle trip, camping trip etc…) to easily and quickly create a map for printing. The user simply selects a location from the search dialog, then sets the desired zoom level, optionally adds text, linear features, points or polygons, then saves to a user account and print as a PDF. Several map types can be created using the Terrain, Topo, or Streets option for display. Maps can be saved for printing later or purchased immediately as a downloadable PDF for a nominal cost of $2.99 – Test it for yourself at http://www.mapsherpa.com or see the official announcement here.
