    Can someone tell me...

    ...why the place I want to go to, always have to be on the edge between two adjoining maps, where it is guranteed that I won't have the other map I need to plan my trip!

    Strange isn't it can you not print off something usable, I found a good map of Norway, I'll see if I can find it ?

    EDIT: Here you go, you probably have seen it but I thought it was good

    I only use the printer once a year or something, so naturally the printer jets are clogged up...
    Else I have better options than that :-)

    This is the one I use. Same provider as my paper maps, and in the same format.

    The thing with printed maps her eis that they have stopped making them in paper. They are a plasticy material, taht you can write on like before, but it is also almost indestructible, and water proof.
    And there is a map on both sides, etc. Also when I print out a map it's hard to get it to teh same 1:50 000 scale I am used to. So it is easier to see distances...i.e a square of 2x2cm is 1km across...
    And I can make notes on the map to bring with me...

    Ordnance survey do laminated maps. They are a bit more bulky but they're great for British weather.

    Yeah the ones I think you mention are Tyvek, I'll admit, I'm using apps more as well these days, when I get out, in fact I used Google maps in Sweden for a location point

    I may use the GPS on my phone to pin-point my position, or get a grid, but it is not something I rely on, simply becouse using the phone GPS consumes a lot of battery, so I try to save it
    in case I want to listen to music, or for emergencies...

    Ours are not laminated. Whatever they are made of is rip ressistant, water proof and jsut as thin and light as paper, and you can write on it with a pencil, just like with paper.
