Print Process Suggestions

Metcas,
yes, I have now noted that Quo have expanded the import options.

On the tiles, yes my loaded tiles that I have bought. How do you knnow what tile covers which area without having to load them indivdually to have a look and work out if it is the one you want. All you have to go on is a tile number which only has relevance when you are buying tiles.

Originally posted by farnorthcrowe One suggestion for printing, is to be able to specify the four corner coordinates for the area you want to print. I was looking at doing my summer mountain leader training at Glenmore lodge, on their equipment page they give four co-ordinates of the main area that they use for their courses and suggest printing off A4 maps for the area, which i decided to see if i could do.

As someone who has done ML training at GL, for the navigation/exped element of the training it is imperative that your map is to a recognised scale (e.g. 1:25k or 1:50k) as being able to measure distance on the map using the Romer scale on your compass plays a big part.

If you simply print off an area based on the 4 corner coordinates they give, you are going to end up with an obscure scale which will be difficult/impossible to work with, and believe me during a night time nav exercise in the clag, wind and rain, that would be no fun!

Also, it's not impossible that you might be taken to areas outwith these coords (as we were).

Much as I'm a huge fan of digital mapping, my advice is don't go to GL without OS Landranger Sheet 36 (Grantown & Aviemore) AND Explorer Sheet 403 (Cairn Gorm & Aviemore).
