There is a lot of black-on-dark-grey writing on the night side, which IMO is a mistake in a map which would often be used in poor light. |

Unless they've printed it in luminous ink! tom -- It is big (I didn't realise how big 17" is) -- Martin |

Non-radioactive luminous paint needs to be exposed to light before it glows back for an hour or so, so unfolding a map in the dark would create no glow. |

Yes, so if they've any sense, they'll have used the radioactive sort. I wonder what other, non-carcinogenic, technologies there are for this now. Electroluminescent ink printed on a thin film of organic conductor? tom -- there is never a wrong time to have your bullets passing further into someone's face -- D |

I can't see why it can't just be sold with a free 'torch in the forehead' implant - call it the 'Third Eye [tm]', market it right amongst the impressionable and hey before no time it'll be the new must have trend in the metropolis. |
