This is probably of primary interest to UK riders, since the Ordnance
Survey is the official mapping body here. Everyone has heard of them,
but not everyone has heard of the OS "Select" service.
Basically you design your ideal map: choose what scale you want, choose
what the map centres on, choose cover picture and title. You can have
it sent to you rolled (i.e. no creases) or folded. And you can have a
waterproof plastic copy made at extra cost.
It sounds like a great idea for a service - in fact I've been saying
that they ought to do it for ages, not having realised that they
already do! I'm particularly enthusiastic about this because I live on
a boundary between several of their standard Explorer maps, which makes
it difficult to plot routes in the surrounding countryside.
The website for the service is here:

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!
