Dear List-mappers,
Yesterday's (Tues 3rd Jan) BBC Radio 4 programme "Shop Talk" featured a 30 minute programme presented by Heather Payton on how maps have undergone something of a revolution since they entered the digital age.
The Chair of the Society of Cartographers, Steve Chilton, was joined in the BBC studio by Ed Parsons of the Ordnance Survey and several other guests from regional studios.
Hear the world wide web broadcast of the programme again online, the BBC website has an audio file that can be played back if anyone
wishes to hear the broadcast:
