We will be in the UK in October, and I have obtained a couple of UK road atlases which I find rather irritating. Instead of being on a grid, the maps are laid out so that they do not necessarily match with the next map along. The scales change in some instances, too, which is a bit disconcerting.

I ma now going to buy a big folded map that will fold out flat so that we can make some logical system out of it all.

By the way, we have a Garmin (satnav) for Australia. Does anybody know if we can have UK maps loaded onto it? The alternatives are to buy a UK one (expensive) or rent one (exorbitant!), or do without, and we would rather not do without.
