Instead of plain img files, all the downloads are now zip archives containing a text file with the instructions how to install the map on your GPS device, an executable file for an easy automated installation, and the map itself. All the maps are freshly updated.

Les Deux Alpes is so alive this summer: skiing, downhill mountain biking, huge snow park, swimming pool, skating rink, luge, adventure park, rafting... Plus all the bars and pubs full of people. Well worth visiting! Now with the freshly updated map of the glacier ski area, downloadable here. And don't miss the marmots on the other side of the village, on Pied Moutet.

Previously mentioned 'feature' of having both American and European ski maps rendered the same way is now fixed so that you can have them both on your GPS simultaneously, and rendered differently, according to American and European piste marking standards.

There are three ski resorts right at the northern outskirts of Vancouver: Cypress Mountain, Grouse Mountain and Mount Seymour. Thanks to user WBSKI, you can download their GPS maps from Skidea.com.

What's best, North American ski resorts are now marked according to North American ski notation standards. When in Rome, do as the Romans do... However, if you have both European and American ski maps installed on your GPS, they will all be rendered the same way. We'll see soon what we can do about it; maybe nothing, maybe it just doesn't matter. Maybe we can call it a feature?

Skidea.com now on a new server! Should be much faster, especially for visitors from Europe.
