Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Maps may be one of the most pervasive forms of printed matter--we consult them in our homes, cars or train stations many times each week--but they are not necessarily the most supple tools, in print at least. You can't zoom in; all the squinting and searching for place names can be headache inducing. Enter the millennium edition of the Interactive Atlas of Great Britain on CD-ROM. This CD-ROM puts Ordnance Survey maps straight onto your PC, where you can manipulate the size, shape and scale of the map view as necessary.

The legend is easily accessible, and users can turn on and off features--you may want to see antiquities, for example, but not railways. You can use the pin manager to mark locations, and search for locations in national maps (which cover England, Scotland and Wales, but not Ireland) and for streets in town centre plans. Alternatively, you can zoom in by clicking on a part of a map. Printing is easily done from most map views.

Note that this not a route planner--it won't show you how to get from A to B, but it will print a readable, customised map. It is also a useful learning tool for children and adults looking to up their map skills. There are tutorials and activities in map skills, scale and distance, latitude and longitude, compass bearing, grid references, relief and contours. A fun quiz tests your knowledge of the geography of Great Britain. The Data section is packed with statistics on the political, climate, population and physical makeup of Great Britain. Atlases have always made for a good browsing experience, and now it's even better. --Kathleen Keefe
