ms' 1985 Ordnance Survey Motoring Atlas

[375

THE 1985 and second edition of Britain's best-selling motoring atlas Ordnance Survey Motoring Atlas of Great Britain (Newnes; £3.75) is the first to use the unrivalled Ordnance Survey cartography in a large format. All place names are shown in a new and clear type; the three miles to one inch scale map coverage has been extended; and a new, stronger, open-flat method of binding has been adopted.

Most of Great Britain is now mapped at the easy-to-read scale of three miles to one inch (1:190,080) but for those areas north of Inverness, where there are fewer roads, new maps at the scale of five miles to one inch which are compatible with the three miles to one inch maps, have been introduced.

Purpose-designed for drivers, this road atlas has all the authority for which Ordnance Survey is renowned, It couples tile detail essential for on-thespot reference with a page size ideal for overall route planning — the combination of format and scale means that each spread of two pages covers an area 65 miles x 45 miles.

Uniquely among large-format atlases, it gives a clear impression of ground features through height shading and contour lines — an invaluable aid to journey planning, especially useful in avoiding bad weather over high ground.

Other features of the atlas include distance charts, diagrams of limited-interchange motoray access points and junctions, and a comprehensive index to place names.
