Custom Canadian "Real" Topo Maps

This looks interesting - a place on the web to create Custom Canadian maps

From some industry blurb:
MapSherpa is a site where users can put together their own custom maps of Canada (terrain, urban streets and topographic), with their selected POIs and routes. A fee is required only to download (pdf) and print the maps. Alternatively, MapSherpa can arrange for the printing of larger maps through a local partner. Among the partners in the effort are NAVTEQ (for data) and Mountain Equipment Coop

The site www.mapsherpa.com seems to have a few teething problems but could be a great asset to Scout programs if it lives up to its promise. (I'm not connected to the company in any way)
