Who uses our Map overlay and what do they think?

"I recently purchased a Map Scale Measurer from MapMates

It is essentially a piece of acetate with a square for both 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 which makes it really easy to identify exactly where you are from a GPS reading.

It wasn't very expensive and the company delivered it to me very promptly (and the text doesn't wash off in the rain unlike my home made one!)" Jane Fontana, Bedfordshire

Question? "One difficulty I have using a GPS with an OS map is that I can not easily read the map accurately enough i.e. I cant judge exactly where about in a 1KM square on the map a particular grid reference point is." Michael Chare

Answer "What you need is a *MapMates Map Gridfinder* which covers 1:25,000 and1:50,000 maps. They are very cheap, I suggest you
contact MapMates on 0161 485 8722. You can get them direct, but you
should be able to find out if there is a local distributor. If you are
in the Manchester area, Basecamp in Stockport has them." Chris Malcolm
