There has been a thread running in the Boat Handling section on this topic here which seems an inappropriate place for it so I've started a new one here. Basically tafkam produced a Harry Beck (London Underground style) map of the canal system which has been available for some time. This was essentially a bitmap file which became pixellated when 'blown up'. Last year, when I was unable to do much boating, I amused myself by re-drawing this using Xara Designer Pro 7 to create a vector file. This means it can be viewed at any magnification and all curves should be smooth, etc. I freely admit that I have taken advantage of all of tafkam's hard work and got in touch with him to ask permission to use my drawing (based on his). I have no intention whatsoever of gaining financially from this and will make copies freely available to anyone. He kindly gave me permission to develop his idea and I then posted on the other thread asking for help in making the map as accurate as possible. I have had some suggestions, all of which will be acted upon, and will implement these when time allows. Distributing the vector file may be problematical but for now I've loaded a pdf file onto my web-site : http://www.waterwaysongs.co.uk/images/misc/Canal%20Map.pdf The image uploaded is clearest when viewed at 200% or above. So now it's up to you good folks to tell me how to make the map as accurate as possible and to make suggestions for improvement - over to you!

Don,t see how its a stupid question.Should have two loos or one ? maybe OP is tying to work out the best use of space on board and was thinking of two loos because of how many people on board ,but just needed advice as to wether it was viable or required. Why answer the question if it is so stupid and so irritating to you or any of the other posts as well or even read them at all or perhaps just don,t log on to the site in the first place as you seem to find the whole board so irksome. 14Skipper

Nige, I'm not quite sure where you want to go with this. You believe it works, I know it doesn't. However, I've no problem with you carrying on with your experiments - it's a good way to pass the time So, what do you want now? Are you out to convince us to your point of view/spinning a yarn/pulling our chains/trolling/what? Richard
