1:7500 for fitting on an A4 page?
I found it very hard to read. I thought 1:7500 meant an ISOM enlargement - this was more like a 1:5000 reduced to 1:75. With the control descriptions neatly plonked over the Special Symbols and a different version for route gadget!
The RouteGadget map was just the first one I could find - I didn't have the map file used for the event to hand, and I had no time to spend on it beyond Sunday night, so, sorry for that.
I doubt if anyone else will notice, far less care ;)
Well it is BOF recommended symbols - 10,000 symbols enlarged to 7,500. I think the bigger issue is the printing. F and I both ran Brown and my map was fine and hers was illegible.
Can't help where the planner sticks the control descriptions...
Seriously? Symbols on a 1:7500 enlargement are smaller than symbols on 1:10000 enlargement???
They also put the control descriptions over the mapper's name, but I'm beginning to get an inkling who it was ;)
Symbol size on this map was the same as you would find on a 10000 map, which is what BOF recommends
There was definitely a problem with the map print quality - I can only apologise for that. Like GG, mine was fine, but some others I saw were totally shredded. Not sure why the wide variability, but we're going to try to get to the bottom of it - def not acceptable for a SoSOL so we don't want it to happen again.
Its not a problem (he says quickly, remembering his map and event is next up on New Year's Day).
I didn't know BOF recommended 1:7500 not being a straight blow up of 1:10. Since I just redrafted the Middle guidelines to allow 1:75 for older classes, it would have helped if I have known that. We used 1:7500 at BMOC this year, and nobody commented, so I guess its not widely known.
