burlington Posted 7 August , 2009 Share Posted 7 August , 2009 Until now, I have always ordered these maps from a well known map shop in London. Stanf**ds. They were well priced and the delivery was both fast and reasonably priced. NOW, the maps cost some £9.95-£11.50 each, plus delivery, and many are for delivery in 4 weeks. Ordering direct from IGN in France, the maps cost 7.90 euros each plus delivery costs about the same as in the UK. AND, the maps were despatched withing 24 hours. Bye, bye Stanf**ds. Sorry, but there it is. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piorun Posted 8 August , 2009 Share Posted 8 August , 2009 Please forgive my ignorance. I've been in Canada for forty **** years. Are Serie Bleue maps good for understanding the ground? Something like OS? We've begun to travel more to France and Flanders and seek anything that would make that easier. Thank you for your consideration.

John_Hartley Posted 8 August , 2009 Share Posted 8 August , 2009 Antony Yes to all questions. Similar to OS and vital to understanding the ground, particularly if going for a walk. I've now got several and what I try to do before leaving home is mark up (in pencil) wartime positions that interest me. Makes photography during the visit much easier, IMO.
