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

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.
