The Common Room / Re: Quality of GRO Digital Images
« on: Yesterday at 15:33 »
I apologise for the muddle I have caused by my misunderstanding of the digitalisation process.

I have received only one 'chopped off' image. This was a couple of years ago. 

Not understanding, I requested a 'duplicate', and of course GRO sent me the same image as before. (I didn't pursue the matter further - could be bothered, too much hassle, not vital to my research).

The resulting thread has been interesting anyway! Thank you.

Sorry for any misunderstanding, but I've done this at least twice (using the form referred to in tillypeg's post).

I must be complicating things...? :-\

You can apply for a re-issue with no charge.  :)

Thanks for all who have replied to my original message.

David thanks reminding me about NLS maps.

Shaun, I'm sorry you missed out on the old FS Mapping service. It was so easy to use. You didn't even have to login to FS, just type in the place to choose. I particularly miss the 'distance between various places'. 

As I said at the beginning of this thread, I was lamenting the loss of this facility, rather than criticising FS, who after all are doing their best to reinstate things.

Thanks for your suggestions Spelk and David N.

I just found the old FamilySearch maps so easy to use, especially to find contiguous parishes etc!

C'est la vie  ::)

Shaun, thanks for your reply.
I will wait until the next version appears - the interim one does nothing for me!

BumbleB, thanks also your post. I'm thinking of alternatives, like the one you've suggested.

Melbell  :)

Hello Shaun

Please could you explain in more detail.

I must be missing something here!  :-[

Thanks
