Title: is there such a thing as
Post by: lambert on March 18, 2008, 14:01:55

a thing that shows all vehicular byways, that updates itself and will navigate through such routes as are available and is dash mountable and does not cost horrific amounts of money?

There is no "Magic Wand" solution...  :roll:

But MemoryMap, a GPS reciever and a bit of research/borrowed overlays will do exactly as you've described.

Yep,

Buy a land ranger map, and a felt tip pen, then go on Wayfinder and get colouring.

Or as the last post said a magic wand!

A visit to the local highways department at the County Council may be in order to see the definitive map.

Might be a nice idea to come up with a place to share MM overlays and GPS logs and maybe a list of link to various County Council  Rights of way webpages. But I feel even if that were the case you really need to research it yourself to make sure.

Nothing beats local knowledge, or having friends with local knowledge  :lol:

I tend to swap overlays with friends in the area, and check with them on a regular basis that nothing has been downgraded or TRO'd. Wayfinder helps but you (allegedly) need to beware certain user groups posting misleading information regarding classification. The only way to be sure is to go to the ROW office armed with Wayfinder data and an OS map/Memory Map to compare it with their definitive map.

This is the closest thing you'll get...

Looks funky, but you still have to know your maps.
