Looks like these are old stock - no Virtual Landscape etc? Although
presumably if you already have the new software it will bolt on to
that OK?

Yes. The virtual landscape works OK for me on "old" Anquet products,
after upgrading the software.

Are the maps "out of date" though? Aren't all Landrangers being
updated for access land etc? Even so I have ordered the south of
England CD for £89 inc p&p

Landrangers (1:50k) will not be updated for access land. It will only
be shown on the Explorers (1:25k)

There is oput of date and out of date. For hillwalking purposes a few
years out of date is no problem at all. The bits they update are the
pretty symbols for pubs and picnic tables and the new
dual-carriageways that are gradually covering the land between the
towns.

I think the OS are only putting the new CROW access land markings on the
1:25k mapping (Explorers).

Thanks for the tip druidh. The only concern I have about this company is
that their online ordering doesn't seem all that secure. At least I don't se
any sign of the comforting yellow padlock symbol. Of course nothing to stop
you phoning an order in.

it is once you go to checkout. or at least it is for me.

I've just seen some of the other offers they've got on there. Looks
like the old credit card may be taking another hit. And Shhhhhhh.

Can someone please confirm for me that South Britain includes all
of Wales? Where is the border 'twixt south and north, and is
there an overlap? Also, is there any advantage to having the
Wales National Parks as a separate wotsit, or is the coverage
again all included with the South Britain map?

Anquet? Yes.

Manchester, no (I don't think so).

If you are comparing the Welsh CD with South Britain, the latter is much
better value, the former only has the national parks.

Thanks, thought so but it seemed wiser to check with the experts
:-)

Thanks. That was the impression I got from the photos of the
boxes, but the detail given on Snow and Rock's website is, to say
the least, sparse.

Wales is all in the South area.. Boundary is Spurn Head westward.
