Fred Carey of the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association says cellphone details previously provided a probable route for the single-engine Piper piloted by 21-year-old Alex Simons of Kamloops.
He and 24-year-old Sydney Robillard, from Lethbridge, Alta., were travelling to Kamloops last June when their plane disappeared.

The military has said more than 70 Royal Canadian Air Force personnel and 137 volunteers were involved in the search for the plane in the days after it went missing on June 8, 2017.
Carey says the association reviews its searches to determine if there is a piece of information they can use that might help them resume a search.
