The Maps in your BOB

RE: The Maps in your BOB
The Phillips Navigator road atlas is a superscale beast. It has an immense amount of detail, right down to tracks, paths, field boundaries & many farm names, landmarks, historical sites, small copse, ponds, drainage ditches etc etc.. I have used it extensively across the Uk to navigate to find utility engineers or locations in the middle of nowhere. I usually didn't need the 1:10,000 local map I was also supplied with.
2 problems -->

1) It is large & heavy
2) the last couple of years it has come spiral bound and the pages easily tear out, so it is nowhere near as robust as I needed.

Solutions -->

1) find a proper book bound backed type one if possible
2) This spiral bound type may be more useful for removing the necessary leaves and transferring them to a waterproof map case.
3) keep it for vehicular use only if 1&2 solutions are not ideal

I was put onto this map as it was recommended by the Advanced Driving Institute. It is far superior to any others I have examined. TL.
