Ordnance Survey Maps
Mar. 16th, 2012 12:13 pmSigh. I am trying to buy maps for my upcoming trip, but have been paralyzed by trying to decide between the OS Explorer and Landranger series.
The kicker is that there's actually an entire blog post on the OS website to address this issue and help me out. The blog post assures me that I most likely want the Explorer for walking because it has more detail. I read this for the first time a few months ago and happily skimmed the rest of the entry to make sure I wasn't missing anything, where I came to the two comments which had been posted at the end. Both of them are assuring me that when dealing with Scotland I actually want the Landranger.
So here I figuratively stand, one foot on each map series, undecided. I must buy something soon or not in advance at all. It's very likely the place I'm staying will have some maps, but I love maps and keep them as souvenirs, and I can buy them for the specific areas I know I want to see if I can just manage to commit. Sigh.
There is no mood - undecided? Seriously?
