I am with you all the way on this one.
Yup, I plot my routes into a GPS device but I'd no more go on a jaunt without a decent map, than I'd go without my trousers.
Judging by the bods in Stanfords map shop in Covent Garden last week I / we are not alone. Walk into any half decent newspaper shop or supermarket on the continent and you'll find at least a couple of maps or more for sale, so they remain popular there, too. There is bewildering number; maps for walkers, maps for cyclists, maps for sailors, maps for railway enthusiasts, maps of battlefields, city maps, topographical maps, maps of regions within countries, maps of the entire world on one sheet, maps of the moon, electronic and digital maps accessible from anywhere in the world..... And then there's the guide books. Marvellous things.
