How to get a map of local area?
« on: February 23, 2012, 07:17:14 pm »
Hi,

I want to get a map of my local area to put up in my office.  it needs to be of my town and the surrounding villages, so possible about a 10 mile square area.  i can;t seem to find one tho.  the best i can get is just an A-Z map, but these arent for putting up on the wall!

Anyone help? ???

ordance survey maps are best, they normally come scaled 1=50,000, but you can get 1-25,000 if you look around

here is a link for chester
