Cnock Posted 1 February , 2012 Author Share Posted 1 February , 2012 Hi Tom, this was the exact text on document Nat. Archives Australia think it has to be Passendale instead of Zonnebeke regards, Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CROONAERT Posted 2 February , 2012 Share Posted 2 February , 2012 using Linesman and a modern 1:10,000 equivalent from Memory Map to illustrate the spot 'then and now'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towisuk Posted 2 February , 2012 Share Posted 2 February , 2012 Hi Dave , just bought the Belgian DVD for "Linesman" , looks like a good addition to the package.. regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROONAERT Posted 2 February , 2012 Share Posted 2 February , 2012 Hi Dave , just bought the Belgian DVD for "Linesman" , looks like a good addition to the package.. regards Tom Tom... do you mean the 'Belgium DVD' from GWD? If so, I don't think it has the 1:10,000 scale NGI mapping illustrated above (the website just mentions 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scale). The 1:10,000 Belgian NGI maps I use are direct from Memory Map (basically I just needed the 1944 Ardennes battlefields in this scale but thought 'what the hell' and got them for all the Belgian trench map coverage (and Mons, Namur, Dinant, Liege, Antwerp, Maldeghem/Gent, Leopold & Wilhelmina Canals, Dyle positions etc) too! (the Dutch mapping for Market Garden area and the 1940 battlefields in Holland is pretty good/useful too!). I agree with you though... it does look a good addition... might get round to getting it for myself one day too! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ok Dave ..Yes its GWD "NGI Belgium" that I've just installed, also got the "Linesman 20" package, I'll be quite honest I've had more than my monies worth with "Linesman 10". When I consider the hours I've spent poring over maps, it's been cheaper and better entertainment for me than the TV licence. And of course when over "in the field" it is a superb tool when tramping the ground. regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NGI told us it was 1:25,000, so something is amiss. The Memory-Map product has come out after ours, and I cannot explain why it is refered too as 1:10,000. I will look into it. Here is what is on our disc, which appears to be identical. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below is an extract from the 1;20,000 scale paper version of the same. The paper version of the 1:10,000 scale is identical to the electronic versions already depicted on here (albeit 'gridded'). The only real difference I can see being the background colour (I haven't got a 1:25,000 paper version to compare... didn't know that there was one for this particular area).
