Walking/Hiking Answers: Ordnance Survey Map Scale Measurers

Got an answer to the following question?

Ordnance Survey Map Scale Measurers

I found your site on Friday and think it will be really useful.

I had some brief lessons on how to navigate this weekend so have started reading your section on Hill Skills > Navigation Skills

In the section Hill Skills >Navigation Skills > Ordnance Survey Map Post-it Scale you mention the OS scale.

I recently purchased a similar Map Scale Measurer from Map Mates in Cheadle Hulme

It is essentially a piece of acetate with a square for both 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 which makes it really easy to identify exactly where you are from a GPS reading.

It wasn't very expensive and the company delivered it to me very promptly (and the text doesn't wash off in the rain unlike my home made one!)
