    Yes, I downloaded the evaluation version and am playing with it.
    there doesn't seem to be a way of slowing the 'walk-through' speed in
    the Evaluation, I assume that there must be in the full monte?

    The demo has everything the real version has. I think you want tools,
    option, 3d landscape, motion, adjust the sliders.


    <Blush> Yes, I found it before I read that, honest!

    I'll have a look at the prices again, it works out at roughly 40 quid
    for an Explorer sized area, £49 quid for a 40km x 40km square.


    Looking again, it's £24.99 per Exploder, nearly 4 x the paper price.

    The Landranger 1:50,000 isn't too pricey, but I always use the 25,000
    series.

    Me too, which is why I went with tracklogs .. I walk a lot around home
    which isn't on the tourist hotspots, thank God, which means most folks
    don't offer 1:25k data.


    I've looked at the 50,000 now, and it does give a better map than
    scanning into OziExplorer, even though it isn't as detailed as the
    25,000. For £125 you get all England, which is probably better than
    just getting a couple of regions.

    I'm evaluating the evaluation version at present.
    I can't find the price of the registered version, only the maps!

    The software comes free with any/every map. I have about 4 sets of it by
    now. It also comes free with the free map data they give you if you buy
    a GPS from them.


    I thought it might, but I'm wary of being disappointed.

    There's an obvious case for getting the whole bundle together, I
    suppose.

    You can negotiate with them .. i.e. I didn't want a 1:50k area centred
    on my postcode when I bought a GPS (because I already had the whole of
    this region), so I got a chunk centred elsewhere. They would also offer
    me a discount on some 1:25k mapping instead. Basically 'suck it and
    see', they must have a pretty good profit margin.

    It's certainly true that the more you buy (at once) the cheaper it is
    per Km**2.
