rich1988 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 funnily enough, the above was the exact site i was looking at, was just unsure whether there were any better places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1988 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 is 1: 500,000 ok or is better to go 1: 250,000 (just means I need more maps ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 is 1: 500,000 ok or is better to go 1: 250,000 (just means I need more maps ) 1.250 gives you more detail so easier to nav with( fairly local) X country 1.500 gives a larger area so better for this. Dont forget 1.250 up to 5,000 feet only it does not show air space above this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1988 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I bought a couple of 1 : 250,000 maps in the end, going off what you said and thinking it would probably be better to have a more detailed area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
