Whenever I have tried to get hold of Anq...Is it me? Whenever I have tried to get hold of Anquet (the company) they do not return my emails.<br /><br />I saw that they were replacing their old products for new at half price, but it wasn't apparent to me that I could change my 'North' for 'GB' and still get a discount.<br />No matter - as in the end it didn't make that much of a difference.<br /><br />It does seem strange that they don't even answer my requests by email though - I will have another go...Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-76045950094093243862006-11-08T15:10:00.000+00:002006-11-08T15:10:00.000+00:00Swapped from Anquet GB north to whole Britain DVD ...Swapped from Anquet GB north to whole Britain DVD myself 6m ago. It is rather different and some aspects I still don't like as much as the old system. If you are having probs drop me a line. I might be able to help.<br />Not much help now, but if you had of contacted Anquet direct they would have taken your old GB north and given you a 25% discount on the new DVD - though it might still have been only slightly cheaper as you got a good deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-62243094848654996212006-11-07T20:26:00.000+00:002006-11-07T20:26:00.000+00:00I totally agree Andy.
I will have the Offa's Dyke...I totally agree Andy.<br /><br />I will have the Offa's Dyke handbooks with me that already have the mapping at 1:25's and so they, coupled with my 1:50 print-outs should get me through. Same goes for the Pennine Way. The tricky bits are the South West up to the Severn Bridge, and the bit between Prestatyn and Edale and then through the Glasgow/ Edinburgh belt. After that, the route finding should be a whole lot easier.<br /><br />The cost of the 1:25's electronic mapping is quite incredible when compared to the mapping costs of the 1:50's. I cannot for the life of me fathom why? At four times the detail I would have expected it to be perhaps £500 for the whole of Great Britain given the 1:50 price of £125 from Mapkiosk.<br /><br />Ho Hum - I will go & sharpen the scissors...Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-38405264307708899802006-11-07T19:46:00.000+00:002006-11-07T19:46:00.000+00:00I reckon you should be able to break it down a bit...I reckon you should be able to break it down a bit depending on the route. For example, you won't need 1:25s for Offas Dyke. I guess the worst bits will be around major cities with all of those leisure walks. I find it's possible to walk across Scotland with less navigational problems than I can get on a day out in Warwickshire!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
