Tea? (Part 2)

[ColinJ]

I have thought of that, but still regularly cycle off the map in all 3 directions And at £16.99 a pop, I can't help thinking that £100 for the whole of GB seems like a better plan.

I've never regretted buying MM back in 2006. It is great being able to scroll a giant seamless digital OS Landranger map to anywhere in the UK (except for Northern Ireland).

I had to pay about £175 for my copy but I noticed that the price has come down.

I had a quick search and discovered that you can now buy a GPS unit including the full 2013 UK OS map and the PC version of the map and software for £175 - e.g. here on eBay - bargain!

Don't ...

This morning, someone asked me how old I am and it suddenly struck me that in 2.5 years time, my age will begin with a '6' - how did that happen!

You're only 3 and a half?

I have now been awake for nearly 18 of Phil's birthday hours and unless I want to spend the remainder asleep on the sofa, I think I'd better take myself off to bed. With a hot chocolate. It *is* a birthday. after all

I know I look young for my age, but not that young!

As for the MM GPS ... I just read a few iffy reviews so it might be better to buy the mapping software for less and choose a different GPS.

Large papery map.. every time, as the batteries never run out, and you can be really anal in the pub during the winter showing your mates where you went on tour in the summer. .

I seem to remember there was an offer on CC a while ago for a subscription to a mapping site was is the OS site I cant remember.

My rides are planned with military precision. I'd get lost otherwise. I live right on the border of several OS maps, so taking them along gets a bit cumbersome. And grabbing and then stitching together screenshots of routes has got a bit tiresome. Fine for shorter rides, not so much for the longer ones. Especially when you've got to take into account the possibility of road closures and diversions.

A friend used to live on the southern boundary of one map, the northern boundary of another, and smack-bang on the meridian. You needed four OS maps before you got to the end of the road!!
I have dealt with the problems of navigation by living in the same area since I was 15. I was genuinely delighted a few years ago when I found a road I'd not cycled along before. That's quite a rare occurrence these days, but it does mean I always know the shortest route from wherever I am to the nearest cafe, pub, tea shop or railway station...

That was the Ordnance Survey Getamap, I think.
