Gaaaa… extreme frustration alert… well, moderate anyway. I’m trying to find some maps of Ontario. Road maps/atlas, regional maps, etc… I don’t want to (can’t) buy anything, just look at it. Someone will most definately find just the thing Dylan and I are looking for on the first shot, but I’ve been searching (on and off) for months to no avail. So my General question, lame as it is, is “where may I find some free online maps of Ontario, Canada please?” Any help will be so _incredibly_ appreciated. ---

Where are you going? If you have a specific address that you’re travelling to, go to [http://www.smartpages.com](http://www.smartpages.com). Click on “driving directions” and it should give you step-by-step directions on how to get to your destination. ---

**dewt** , try the Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection at the University of Texas - not so much driving directions as real maps. They’ve got everything. [http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map\_collection/Map\_collection](http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/Map_collection/Map_collection) ---

1. For **dewt** to check out **missbunny** ’s contribution and mine if he so wishes 2. To see if it’s to late for **missbunny** and I to be included in the group of rulers. ---

_I’m bumping_ _too late_ (There’s probably a typo in this post too)
