Related, I'd like a 1:250,000 map printed by a local print shop to prepare for my upcoming Reindeer Lake paddle this summer. I've done this in the past with individual 1:50s and it has worked well. However, this time I want portions of maps 64C, 64D, 64E & 64F combined to make a single overview map.
The way I would be inclined to do it is to download the maps I need from here, choosing the tiff files:
http://ftp.geogratis.gc.ca/pub/nrcan_rn ... k_tif/064/I could then use some sort of image software to match the edges, then crop to the portion that I actually want. The file that results can then be sent to the printer.
BUT, is there a better way? Can I export from Basecamp to produce a decent quality large size paper map? (I do have Basecamp and the Garmin Topo that goes along with it.) Can I somehow just download the portions that I need from and save myself trying to cut and paste images together?
I find lots of other file formats that I can download for my region using this link:

I'm pretty sure that screenshots are not the way to go in order to get any sort of resolution.
Thanks in advance,
Bryan
