The Toronto Star profiles Hartmut and Rita Schwerdt, who founded the company now known as Mapmobility back in 1978. Mapmobility is apparently the new name of [update: it’s apparently more complicated than that] MapArt, whose road maps of Canadian cities and regions are well-known (and, incidentally, fantastic); I reviewed their mammoth Canada Back Road Atlas two years ago. The company is now making a push online, as you might have expected.
