Aqua3 First With Plastic Paper OS Maps

Online map specialists Aqua3 are the exclusive suppliers of the UK's first plastic paper OS map they tell us, the Aqua3 Evolution range.

Basically it does what it says on the can, there's a choice of the OS's most popular map ranges printed on plastic paper. That means that they're 100 per-cent waterproof as well as being durable and lighter and more compact than laminated maps.

They're also customised in the sense that you can choose your own centre to the map and map title and they're available either pre-folded, flat or framed. You can choose either the Aqua3 Evolution OS Explorer in 1:25,000 scale or the 1:50,000 Aqua Evolution OS Landranger map.

Ordering is easy. You just choose the centre point and scale of the map which will bring up a preview, which you can then adjust to suit. Ideal if you're favourite walking area straddles two standard map sheets.

Special introductory price is £19.99 including postage and packing, which isn't cheap, but bear in mind that the map is customised and should last you a good long time.
