Memory Map prices are here
HTML http://shop.memory-map.co.uk/acatalog/maps-ordnance-survey-explorer.html.<br
/>They are a fraction of the previous prices.
Satmap say:
[glow=red,2,300] LATEST NEWS!! Ordnance Survey makes a dramatic
cut in the cost of its detailed topographic mapping.
The cost of the royalties are a big part of our prices, so we
have been able to vastly reduce the price of most of our
Ordnance Survey maps, passing these savings onto our
customers.[/glow]
I'll start a new thread on mapRoute.

I could probably find the answer to this on the net but I can't
be arsed to look.
If I buy the Memory Map DVD ( complete with 15% Scout discount,
a bargain for £85 ) can I use it with my Oregon 300?
Forget that, I just read another thread and found the answer

I know this is an old thread, and has not been posted to in
quite a long while, but getting back into caching a bit more
frequently than I have been for a couple of years I wonder what
others are using for their main cache finding tool now? Does
everyone use a phone now, or is the dedicated GPSr still the
choice equipment of the Geocacher.
For myself, I can say that I am still using an Android phone
with cgeo and GPS Test apps as my main device. But still, even
for me, the GPSr is not an extinct dinosaur as I have used it
for a couple of non-GC.com caches recently where I had to take a
photo of the coordinates on the display in a couple of specific
locations. My old Garmin emap has a lovely large clear display,
as opposed to my smart phone which doesn't.. especially in
sunlight. Also my GPS Test app on the phone, even though it uses
the same datum as my Garmin is set to, has an additional digit
on the minutes which makes it very difficult to obtain some
coordinate based challenge photos, and so the GPSr comes out to
play then.

Still use my Garmin GPS most of the time: less lag than my smart
phone, batteries last longer and easy to swap batteries, better
in the sun and can view it without having to hold it but if
needed I do use my mobile with Locus map and I have to use my
mobile for Wherigo.
