April 2010

SoftMap Publishing is responsible for the publishing and distribution of SoftMap topographic maps on CD-ROM. We continue to offer the popular series of Canadian topographic data on CD-ROM: the topo50 series.

SoftMap Technologies is a separate company and is not related to SoftMap Publishing. SoftMap Technologies closed at the end of December 2009. They offered subscriptions to on-line topographic maps, including TopoWeb Canada, TopoWeb Quebec and TopoWeb Ontario. These subscriptions are no longer available.

SoftMap Technologies also controlled the registration process during installation of our topo50 products, which meant that when they closed clients could no longer install Version 5 of topo50, and therefore we could no longer offer Version 5 for sale.

With ongoing demand for Canadian topo data on CD-ROM, we looked for a way to continue to offer products that didn't need a registration process. We have therefore decided to revert to Version 4 of the software.

Version 4 is a well-used, well-trusted version of the software. For customers, the only meaningful difference between Version 4 and Version 5 is that Version 4 does not contain an interface to transfer routes and waypoints to a GPS. However, it works just fine on your computer - find any location in seconds and print any area to the scale that you select.

Customers have already told us that Version 4 runs in the newer versions of Windows (Vista and 7) without problem.

Future Updates

Due to the closure of SoftMap Technologies Inc. who produced the software, we regret that no future updates will be offered.


Never buy another topo again!
