Maps for ppl who know where they are going and where places are. Not 21st century numpties who teleport from A to B with a sat nav but couldn't tell anyone which way they took to get to a place.
I have both btw. I only use sat nav in city's I'm not familiar with but for long journeys get a map out will you.
Well worth 50p IMO.

next time you use a sat nav look to see how many satellites you're receiving a signal from, mine, I generally have 6 or so, with multiple others just out of range, it would be neigh on impossible to be in a position where no gps signal can be found, you may have trouble locking on to more than a couple in some locations so pin point accuracy wont be there, but it would be highly unlikely to not be able to get some form of location

just because you're on the internet , by whatever means, doesn't mean everybody is.... plenty of the older generation don't have any form of internet access

Because the welsh valleys are positively bristling with WiFi?

I have not yet found a satnav or satnav app that has scenic route plans embedded. A fair proportion of paper atlases do, green shading alongside scenic routes and viewpoints shown too. Be interesting to know if this 49p one has this.

Satnavs are great but it's really helpful to have a map in the car too so you can see the road layout in context and plan a route, especially if you are doing the touristy thing and driving down the West coast of Scotland. I don't see it as map versus satnav, rather they complement each other.Good post OP. Heat.

I got this about 2months ago

Good luck in the snow then

There are dedicated lorry satnav systems with data about bridges height and roads width, but these cost more so I guess some drivers just buy a cheapo ebay car unit instead.

Paper map won't tell me where I am even in good weather, so I still fail to see an advantage over google map in my phone.

That's exactly where smartphone has an advantage with wifi based location tracking.

Sat navs need a good view of the sky, they struggle in towns sometime with all the tall buildings so it's not inconceivable they could have problems in the welsh valleys, depending on where exactly the GPS satellites are!

You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to see a Luddite who does not understand how the technology works.

It doesn't work in the Welsh Valleys and there are signs up telling people this.

Satnav's don't work in bad weather and in doesn't work in certain places of the country.

it's from recycled... and has provided students with toilet paper for years:)

Yes, please don't take my eyes off the road!

great find, thanks op, heat added!

Agree that sat navs are more accurate, but I also use a road map to educate my kids on the geography of our country & to gain an insight into the different cities & areas. It is a great way to keep them entertained on long car journeys - far better than staring at small screens & potentially getting car sick!

Any France versions please?

Any half decent satnav will be more accurate. Especially Google Maps which is also free.

Not to knock the deal though, well worth picking one of these up for 49p

So you still use Nokia 3310 without google map?

What is this strange publication?

I bought one these too.

Show me one of these Atlases that will take me to my front door. Will never be as detailed as online maps or SatNav

Already posted a month ago here

so you purchase a new edition every year

Good price. Heat given.

So these are normally out a year in advance making this one at least two years out of date.
