Description
The entire park
Our larger size Dartmoor SplashMap covers the entire park at a scale of 1:40 000. Visit the Tors and the ancient stone monuments in this wild country. And get yourself from A to B using some of the clearest cartography you’ve ever seen. Our map is printed onto a waterproof fabric. It can be worn as a scarf or stuffed in a pocket. There’s no need to carefully fold. The content of our Dartmoor map includes highlighted bridleways and byways. It’s ideally suited for two feet, two wheels or 4 hooves.

I use my Splash map of Dartmoor leading groups for Ten Tors and private groups. It’s so easy to take out and use without having to worry about maps flapping in the wind. Better still it’s multi functional. I use mine as a scarf regularly.

In an ideal world, I would love the ability the print a Harvey map onto Splashmap fabric, enhanced with a few features from OS Explorer as well as personal additions such as grid reference markings and simpler route symbology. Fat chance you say, but why not? These companies complement each other’s offerings, and with ever more accessible digital data and printing technologies (3D scaled models, anyone?) it doesn’t take a huge leap for someone to rearrange (and license) the relevant bits to create new magic.

Hi Nyle
Thanks for this, and sorry for the delay getting back. We license all the best maps and have access to the digital data to make our own. But these companies (Harveys for example) have nailed their niche. We find the only thing that’s missing for the majority is right substrate to print onto. So that’s what we bring to the party. If you have a great map image you’d like us to print, sent it over and we can introduce you to our prototyping service.
I’d like to invite you to join a future Geomob. It’s an event we sponsor where bigger brains than ours get to chew over the sort of ideas you shared here. Let me know if this is of interest!
Thanks for taking time to contact us!
All best
David
