Hi folks,
I'm looking at getting an OS Select 1:25000 map ready for the North Downs
Challenge walk this year (saves the walk keep swapping between a couple
of maps). However, I wondered if the folded version was as waterproof as
a standard OS map? I've seen a flat OS Select map bought (from a map shop
rather than direct from OS) and it was printed on a large format inkjet
printer, so the ink would smudge horribly if it got a bit wet, not what
you want out on the Downs in the pouring rain.
Anyone got any experience of these?
Andrew
