Maps / Re: Ordnance Survey High Definition maps

Definitely not rocket science now. It was about 30 years ago when I tried to understand it, but that was for real-time digital video processing which at the time required lots of silicon, cooling and coffee...

Here's the offending screenshot inline. See how the vertical weights in "Boat House" are uneven, and - worse - how a grid line has totally vanished due to the pixel-picking.

Hi, all.

I'm based in S. Shropshire, within fairly easy reach of most of the Welsh hills, although I find myself heading North to Snowdonia far too often.

Currently logging QMDs with a view to taking Mountain Leader assessment next year.

I also blog infrequently at http://butnoidea.co.uk

I had a quick look at the HD mapping a while back, and wrote a quick blog post. http://butnoidea.co.uk/2013/03/24/ordnance-survey-hd-mapping/

I've since tried them both on Anquet (PC) and OS Mapfinder (Nexus 7) 

Anquet  printed them well, but looked poor on-screen unless you were zoomed in unfeasibly far.

They looked good on-screen in OS Mapfinder, but in every other respect it's a very poor application. Slow, bloated, expensive maps (esp. the 1:50K) with a minimal feature set.

(First post here. Looks like a useful forum!)
