Maps and GPS
The map extracts in this guidebook are from 1:50,000 OS maps, with a handful from 1:25,000 OS maps. Although many of the walks follow clear or waymarked routes, you may find it useful to have a 1:25,000 map with you. The relevant 1:25,000 map is indicated in the information box at the start of each route description. Alongside these two map scales, Harvey publishes a 1:40,000 map of South Snowdonia, which covers the whole of the area explored in this book (apart from Walk 30).
GPX tracks
GPX tracks for the routes in this guidebook are available to download free at www.cicerone.co.uk/985/GPX. A GPS device is an excellent aid to navigation, but you should also carry a map and compass and know how to use them. GPX files are provided in good faith, but neither the author nor the publisher accept responsibility for their accuracy.
