Matt,

Love it, need it , push it on newbies. A must for the big picture. Its
the quickest best map over hours of old school map making. Learning
xc, Contest, new site flying are all complimented by it.

What I've seen as an examiner in styles of xc planning the instructors
who teach with it and the people who use it or make there own maps
like this old school realy understand whats going on and by using this
style of map have the intimate feel for the location they need to feel
comfortable venturing xc into.
