Map Symbols   
Hi all

Anyone know where I can get some good quality pictures of OS Map Symbols 
that I can turn into flash cards?

Any help would be great.

And you can buy a set in proper playing card form.

Did you find the "official" ones on the OS website?

Re: Map Symbols   
Thanks all

These will do great for when we are finishing up the navigators badge when 
they come back.

I fear they no longer make the cards - in favour of us down-loading.
Both would be really useful.
I was even urging OS to produce a set of cards with matching pictures of the 
'symbol' set.   It would save me trying to descride a trig point, a raod 
without hedges, a cutting etc etc
I keep meaning to start snapping and google-imaging myself, but maybe next 
week, or next year...
