IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT DIGITAL MAPS
1. Our digital maps are effectively snapshots of our paper maps. They are not interactive [enlargement does not reveal greater detail] nor does removing elements, eg title pane, reveal more mapped area. That said, they can be enlarged or reduced to the limits of their resolution [300 dpi] with complete flexibility.
2. iPHONES: We have recently been made aware that some iPhones store picture content in the Cloud, not on the phone, necessitating downloads every time you want to use the map. Seems that Apple wasn't thinking about the vast areas of the earth with no wifi or phone reception. Work around this by installing a flash memory card in your phone if possible, so that the maps are always immediately available. This problem does not seem to occur on Android and other phones, as far as we know. Any info from users would be very helpful!
3. Please remember our recommendation: that you download your digital purchases to a laptop or other hard drive before transferring them [if required] to a tablet or smartphone.
4. Please note that digital products are NOT RETURNABLE! How could we possibly know whether they have been completely erased from all your devices? Please be fair!

Great to have the new Slingsby Maps - I still use the old maps that I bought in the 1980s as a school boy, now we have some thing similar that should last a life time
I recently acquired the electronic version of the Slingsby Drakensberg North Maps. It is very convenient to have these maps on my phone. The resolution is excellent and enables you to zoom into a particular area for orientation purposes.
They also indicate routes not on 'Open Maps'. These maps are thus a critical companion to GPS-based map apps.
How can I really show my appreciation? I am truly thankful for your hard work in producing such a phenomenal map. Well done!
I am so happy Slingsby decided to upgrade the Drakensberg maps. He once again produced an excellent product. Ideal for hiking any of the dozens of trails.
Thanks for the excellent update to the Drakensberg maps, excited about the next two. Thanks for the attention to detail.
