Excellent news, thank youSteven wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 19:19 And thanks to some hard work by KeithW, the first few 1:25,000 maps on SABRE Maps now have their annotations giving revision code and date. Right now they're just the first few in Caithness, but I'm sure coverage will work its way from there, but it may take some time before full coverage is achieved - it's a lot of sheets!

Re: 1:25,000 maps year [SOLVED]
And since I wrote this, KeithW has been working incredibly hard at the annotations for the 1:25,000 map layer and I'm delighted to say that the entire layer is now completed, and every single map has an annotation giving the sheet number, revision and date.Steven wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 19:19 And thanks to some hard work by KeithW, the first few 1:25,000 maps on SABRE Maps now have their annotations giving revision code and date.

Just to give people an understanding of the size of his undertaking, the average annotation file for a One Inch layer is around 20KB. The 1:25,000 file is 224KB, and contains 2027 lines, each corresponding to an individual map.
Thank you!

Thank you very much Keith - having been doing a lot of the annotations on some of the one inch layers recently, I also know how much work must have gone into that!
Is there a road improvement project going on near you? Help us to document it on the SABRE Wiki - help is available in the Digest forum.

This is exactly the sort of small user experience improvement which SABRE Maps really benefits from. The more people lending a hand, the better the service.

That's a lot of behind the scenes magic being done that we wouldn't normally realise unless it was brought to public attention. Great work.Johnathan404 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 19:51This is exactly the sort of small user experience improvement which SABRE Maps really benefits from.
