: I'm not concerned with maps of the cities etc. I'd have to check to see if

Ken,
Here’s a helpful link.

Click on the link below. On the right hand side of the page is the “Mapsource Map Viewer”. Click on “select a map product down arrow“ to find the country, province or state you are interested in. There are sometimes multiple styles of maps that cover the same area.

I’ve found these map viewers quite interesting. I like to open multiple styles and zoom into the same area to see how they compare.

You might be right about the Canadian maps. They don't seem to have the level of detail that's included with the stateside maps.

Roger
