About the Journey

Nanaimo has succeeded in connecting several greenways to make up the Trans Canada Trail.  Those walking should take the Abyss Trail between Extension and Nanaimo proper for a better experience. The main highlights are Extension itself, the parks and greenways, Buttertubs Marsh, Bowen Park, and the Nanaimo Waterfront.

GPS INFORMATION:

  • KML/KMZ files can be opened in Google Earth, and many smartphone apps.
  • GPX files can be opened by most GPS software apps when KMZ cannot. Note, GPX files do not contain custom colours and icons that we use on our maps; all tracks and icons will appear the same colours and styles. We recommend using KMZ instead when possible.
  • GPX-Garmin are GPX files that we have optimized for older Garmin units that only display tracks that contain 500 points or less (such as Garmin eTrex units).

Visit our GPS & Navigation page for instructions of how to use your smartphone as a GPS device (even when outside of data coverage) or how to import data to your Garmin unit.
