A report in today's Daily Telegraph has been getting a little bit of attention...
I spent quite a bit of time earlier in the year putting together a teaching package for Digimap for Schools, and I suppose the message of that was the need for mapskills is still strong, and there are still times when a proper OS paper map is the best thing to have with you... like most of the time to be honest.
Interesting quote:
Ordnance Survey says sales of its paper maps have dropped by 25 per cent since 2005, to 2.1 million last year. Over the same period, mountain rescue incidents in England and Wales have increased by 52 per cent, to 1,054 in 2011.
