All Good

I bought this map to help find my way driving from Tarrant Monkton to Knowlton and found that since the map is printed on both sides (unlike the Pink OS landranger series) the side I wanted was the backside. The map doesn't fold very well if you are using the backside and was awkward to use in car. Looking for Knowlton church was difficult because Knowlton is right on the edge of the map. I guess my problem is that the OS Explorer map isn't suited to a motorist and all too late I discovered that the Dorset A-Z Street map is far superior and easier to use.

I had decided to use Boris’s well needed freedoms to get out into the countryside mid-lockdown and found myself in need of an updated map of the Cranborne Chase. This arrived quickly and much cheaper than high street stores. It is what it is, but the jewel in it’s crown is the free download! That is truly excellent! Once done, you don’t require the internet. It uses global positioning to put a lovely little arrow right where you are and the direction you’re facing! You’ll never miss a path or a track again! I’ve since added others to it. I’ve not yet used the route plotting tools yet, but it’s all there. Highly recommended!

This map contains all the countryside in the area of Shaftesbury and Cranborne Chase and yet it still fits in my bag! My friend Den said it’s to do with the scale but I weighed it and it barely weighs anything! It’s amazing how those clever people at the map factory do it. I’m going to buy some more maps because they’re prettier and less smelly than the full size country side is. Full marks OS maps!

Exactly what I needed. Perfect to carry if your phone goes down or no service. Has all the walking routes

Maps are clear and a useful scale. I bought them as a gift and the recipient was well pleased
