I've found that the descriptions out there seem similar and vague between the 2, so what is the big difference between Map Create and Freedom Maps? The area that I'm most concerned about is Canada and more precise, Southern Ontario. I do know that freedom maps are just an SD card with maps on it and Map create has CD,s. Is one better than the other?

I'm not positive, but I get the impression that the Freedom Maps are the same as MapCreate, only pre-loaded onto SD cards.

I was told there is no difference between the Freedom Maps and Mapcreate Data but I chose the Mapcreate because the Freedom Map mem modules are around 256M and they dont leave much room for storage. Where I bought mine the one Freedom mem module cost almost the same as the Mapcreate Topo disks covering the whole country. If you pooch the Freedom Maps module your done while with the MapCreate you can create another one. I don't believe you can backup the FreedomMap modules.

First off I'm new here and am glad I found this site.
Ok now the question. I bought the freedom map for suothern Ontario when I bought my expedition c. At the time I didn't even know about mapcreate. While moose hunting this year I was really dissappointed with the amount of detail in the area I hunt. Is there a way to create a more detailed map of a smaller area, or is this as good as it gets.
Thanks for the help.

It is possible to make the maps yourself, it has been discussed some here.
