TopoExplorer for BlackBerry to get Canada Map Packs

It has taken a while, but from what I heard from someone inside at Skylab Mobilesystems, TopoExplorer will get Canada map packs very soon! TopoExplorer allows offline mapping on BlackBerry mobile devices without the need of any internet connection. You can (purchase and) download a map pack and install it on the microSD media card of your BlackBerry. TopoExplorer does not even try to connect to the internet when you are using it. It leverages the internal GPS receiver (or if not available, an external Bluetooth GPS) to get location fixes and then points your location on the map. As the map is loaded from the media card, there is no need for an internet connection. This makes it firstly cost efficient and also independent from network coverage.
As of now there are TopoExplorer Map Packs which cover each state in the US of A separately as well as overview map packs for the Alps, Africa, Europe and South America.
I am not sure if the Canada map packs will be divided by province as well (like they are for the USA). Anyway, everyone can check out TopoExplorer as the application as well as some maps are free. Though the free maps do not have a high scale, it is enough to see how the program works.
