Tour
& Trail Maps feature: large, easy to read 1:40,000 scale;
digitally drawn for clarity and accuracy; includes a wealth of
topographical detail;
all DWG published walking routes are clearly marked; 1 minute
Lat/Long grid (5km UTM grid on Lanzarote, no grid on Aracena);
GPS Enabled with Datum and Meridian information.
Super-Durable (S-D) editions of our Tour & Trail Maps are printed
with 100% oxygenation inks, on high density polymer with a fused
china clay surface, to produce a map that feels like silk but
will withstand the toughest outdoor conditions and outlast any
paper map several times over.
New for Summer 2008 are Digital Editions of our Tour & Trail Maps available as
Instant-Books Editions from
www.instant-books.org at just £2.99 per digital map sheet; click images
above for links.
Instant-Books Digital Editions are 254dpi png images in 8bit-colour ready for
importing into GPS and Sat-Nav software including Memory Map.
In producing the digital map products my thanks go to John Thorn for his
invaluable advice and assistance. John has produced calibration files in MAP,
JPR and TFW formats which are available (free) as a downloadable zip file for
Instant-Books Digital Maps at
http://www.the-thorns.org.uk/dwg/info.html which also includes trial package
for trying a map section and information on compatibility with gps software;
give it a try, its most informative.
If you think that mapping is just about going through some satellite and aerial photos then this photo taken on Madeira shows how important "on the ground" observation is

This is the permanently locked road which most maps show as a public road, from a junction mid-way between Poiso and Pico do Arieiro (on Madeira)!
