In the Lakes a couple of weekends ago I saw what looked to me like a
new Anquet product set up on a computer at The Climbers' Shop in
Ambleside. It must have been set to amble round a pre-set walk, and it
was showing a virtual landscape. It was nothing like the virtual
landscape on my Harvey 1:25k, though - it was far more realistic.
There wasn't an assistant right there so I asked about it down in the
shoe department, and teh bloke I spoke to thought it was simply the
new virtual landscape on one of the 1:25k maps. Having just looked at
the Anquet site, though, I think it must have been one of the new
photomap products. What sticks in my mind is having seen a tarn that
actually looked like a tarn rather than just a blue bit coloured in on
the map.
Has anyone seen the new photomaps? Does what I've described sound like
them? Unfortunately, I can't find a decent picture, or demo, on the
Anquet site: perhaps I've looked in the wrong place?
http://www.anquet.co.uk/products.asp
Also, can anyone tell me what the new photomap packages actually
include? (See product page above.) On that page there's still a 1:50k
Northern England for £39.95, but there's also a photomap Northern
England, also at £39.95. Does the photomap not also have the maps,
then? i.e. is it not possible to have a split screen, half with
virtual landscape and half with map?
Please help if possible - I'm v. confused...
Best wishes,
