Canadian color tiles

[Larry]

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the instructions on inactivating my old Canadian topos. Worked fine. After I did this and started exploring some of the new maps, I found that the 'c' key brings up Google like color tiles at least well north of the Washington - BC border. North of  East  Redondo Island (a wonderful cruising area) for example. What's the real story about Canadian color tiles?

In case this has not been mentioned before, here's what I've found about using hot keys: to find the hot key for newer tile sets, try the first letter in the name that is not already taken. For Canadian topos, that letter is 'n'. Does this idea work consistently?

Larry,

The real story on Canadian color tiles is that there aren't any, officially.  The Washington server must be giving you some (I assume only near the border?), and if it does, bonus!  I'm not aware of any server for Canadian color maps, but am always on the lookout.

Best way to find the shortcuts for tilesets is to look in the "Map" menu.  The shortcut is in brackets [] after the name of the tileset there.

Thanks.
