A father and daughter were rescued from the north face of Mt Harvey at the
weekend, as a result of a misleading map in a phone app. Don't believe
every trail on online maps! Use a well-researched, printed map where
possible:

The good news is that high quality maps now exist for much of the Lower
Mainland, extending from the South Chilcotins, Whistler, Garibaldi,
Squamish, across the North Shore to the Sri-Cities area, Golden Ears, and
then the Chilliwack Valley, the Stein Valley and beyond to Manning Park.

The above story segues nicely into this one, where a found member of North
Shore Rescue says hikers these days are too reliant on smartphones:

What's interesting about this story is that the reasons for rescue have
remained the same over the years which basically comes down to a lack of
preparation. So here's your chance to learn from the mistakes of others.
Plan your hikes, leave a trip plan with someone you trust, and make sure
you have the right gear!
