[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Off-topic? Advice on getting started/printing maps

[Brian Prangle]

Hi Monika

I'm not familiar with the iphone app but if you're still coming to the
mapping party on Sat Apr 17 then I'm sure there'll be someone there who can
show you. We  have large printed maps of the West Midlands at £6 each -
contact blackadder ( Andy Robinson) - it isn't centred on your office and is
now somewhat out of date. Again soemone can explain how to get a new printed
map centred on your office at the mapping party - in fact Andy might even
explain by email as he's the one with the expertise

regards

Brian
