Member Map Benefits
Our public map has several basic features, but we’ve saved the best for our members. Plot your route with bearing, distance, and coordinates for each leg of your trip, then export to your handheld GPS device, print it or save as a PDF to share with your friends.
Site Condition Reports are now visible on the member map — that’s right, you will now be able to see the most up-to-date information possible for your trip planning. Displayed reports (shown by orange pins) will include important information on conditions, photos, and more.
Define a radius, draw a line, or draw a polygon and lasso sites within the defined proximity distance. After finding the sites, and exporting their data to CSV, you can import the CSV file into Google Earth Pro or go to the ​BCMT Data Conversion Tool​ to convert from CSV to KML or GPX.
Then, site data can be uploaded directly to your GPS device.
Yes, while the public map is limited to only one photo per site, the member map will display all available photos. More photos are also available through the Site Condition Report layer on the member map.Â
Our approach to coastal recreation
Why the future of coastal recreation needs us
British Columbia is home to some of the most breathtaking coastal landscapes in the world, attracting millions of visitors every year. The future of coastal recreation in BC depends on our ability to preserve and protect these natural treasures for generations to come. This requires each of us to approach coastal recreation as environmental stewards, leaving sites we visited better than we found them and ensuring that our marine trails remain safe and sustainable. If we don’t take care of our coast, the future of public access may be at risk.
