Ok, it's black and white (probably) , but elevation lines are still there and normally are quite legible. I toyed with a regular and colour photocopies, copied 1:1 or enlarged (and subsequently laminated) of map album that I didn't want to bring along. Colour copies were less contrast, so I even hesitated for a while, then decided to go for colour, it was somehow better to read despite lower contrast. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
