The one post specifically said:"I couldn't even get a straight answer on if the map book covered the area I wanted to paddle in." Spending $20 to find out that the map you bought does NOT cover the area you're heading to would pretty annoying.
Absolutely no reason to be annoyed!
There is very detailed info provided at the Project website that will tell you all you need to know. Click on this link

Click on the titles of the various volumes on the left-hand side and you will access even more specific map information, including a complete list of all of the maps included in the booklet.

f you were really interested in promotion you would make maps available online. People would still buy them if they met their needs.
We expect free online news, download free music, free movies. Why not free maps! Gnat must have in mind the business model chosen by Jeff McMurtrie with his free digital downloads of his
jeff's Maps and now
Unlostify. it would be interesting for Jeff to chime in and explain how that is working.
There would be no reason to buy the Wabakimi booklets if you could just download digital copies of the maps for free and print them off yourself. The Friends of Wabakimi would lose the one source of revenue they have to fund their continuing portage trail maintenance and paying for the printing of the various volumes of maps.
To question whether The Friends of Wabakimi are indeed interested in promoting a little known NW Ontario paddler's paradise - does that really require a response?
