team tisri Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Swing by www.talkytoaster.info and you should find everything you need to know there. In terms of the detail - a number of people (myself included) use them in preference to Garmin's UK Topo maps. They show so many paths, trails etc in so much detail they leave Garmin's offering in the shade. The downsides (in my experience) are that the routing can be a bit temperamental (sometimes selecting a 6-mile route to get to a point 1 mile away) and sometimes trails aren't classified correctly (e.g. it tells me to cycle down a footpath with prominent No Cycling signs). Personally I still rate them highly, and since they are free you can download them and if you don't think they're worth what you paid for them then you just delete them. Quote Link to comment
