today I received the Anquet cd-roms I had ordered at George Fisher's in Keswick. The first try-outs look very promising. It's my first experience with mapping-cd-roms so I still have to get the hang off it. Already 'did' a few routes from the past and a few from the future and I like it very much. I can't compare with other systems but I like the helicopterview. I had a look around from Ben Nevis without a cloud in the sky (first time for me) and also looked straight down the north face. Not suited for people with high anxiety ! Further experiences with routes, paths etc. will be posted here.

Just one "beware". If you do a software update, it asks you to insert the CD. This triggers the installation program. Make sure you kill it off before proceeding, otherwise (like me) you could end up uninstalling the software! A pity the registration process is so convoluted as well.
Nice s/w. Some maps are available at a good discount at amazon.co.uk, though sadly not the one I wanted. Otherwise you can get around 10% discount at mapkiosk.com.

Just hold down the "Shift" key when inserting the CD - this will temporarily disable Autorun. Or install something like Tweakui to make this permanent.

Found a good place which does the complete range of anquet at slightly more disount than amazon. www.nav-e- gate4less.co.uk. As far as I can make out free delivery to within the UK. Worth a look if your considering buying Anquet. They also seem to do other digital map software too!! "BrianW" <[email hidden]> wrote in message -"]news:[email hidden]- berlin.de...

Am I missing something here. Amazon seem to do the maps for £56.00 whilst nav-e-gate4less seem to be doing them for £72.50.

Last time I looked Nav-e-gate4less were doing Anquet Maps for less than Amazon. That was a while ago. Amazon must have cut their prices again.

Since it was a while ago I assume that Neg4l was selling the 'old' cd-roms at the time. The ones showed now are the new cd-roms with 3D (GB in 10 cd's).

Nav-e-gate4less seem to do Memory Map. I don't know if they are the cheapest, but they are certainly cheaper than the high street.
URL is www.nav-e-gate4less.co.uk
Yeah, I checked their site but it is only £5 cheaper than the high street. I'm sure someone mentioned a site selling it for £75 but I can't seem to find it.
