Popular Map Boundaries
In Brief
This is similar to Cut
Your Own Map, but
instead of you drawing out the area of mapping you wish to
purchase, you can use popularly defined areas, such as areas that
exactly match the Ordnance Survey Explorer paper maps.
A Simple Example
In this simple example, we will obtain a price for the
Lake District National Park in 1:50,000 scale Landranger
mapping:
1. From the Map Menu on the Anquet Maps Toolbar, select
the Philips GB Map
2. Scroll the map by left clicking on the map and dragging
it until you can see the Lake District National Park
3. Use Tools->Map Manager to open the Map
Manager
3. Having connected to the Anquet MapServer
select the 'Map Store' tab.
4. Select 'Popular Map Boundaries' from the drop down list
at the top of the Map Manager.
5. Select the Map Type 'OS 1:50,000' for the Ordnance
Survey Landranger data.
5. Click on the '+' mark next to National Parks
6. Click on the check mark box to the left of 'Lake
District National Park' to select it.
7. On the Philips GB Map, you should now see the Lake
District National Park highlighted.
8. You should now see the price of £10 for the Lake
District National Park in OS 1:50,000 scale data.
9. If you want to purchase this map, use the 'Add to
Basket' button to add it to your basket.
10. You can add more maps to your basket, and when you are
ready to purchase the mapping, just enter the Basket tab of the Map
Manager to complete the transaction.
Things to Note
-
Although in the example above, we used the GB Overview map
to view the shading of the pre-defined area, we did that, as its a
free map that everyone can download keeping the example simple. You
can in fact view the pre-defined area on any map that you have
available on your system. i.e. if you own 1:50,000 scale mapping,
you could view pre-defined areas on that for more
detail.
-
The more of any one map type that you buy at one time, the
cheaper additional kilometres become, so if you are going to be
making multiple purchases, it will be cheaper to make them all at
once in one basket. More can be read about pricing here.
