Martin,
Good afternoon, it's me yet again!
I've updated Templot to the latest version, and found your post on the forum to adopt 'plan B' way of getting scaled maps as background. That's the good news and where the 'it's obviously me again' start!
Thought I'd have a go at seeing how Plymouth Devonport would sit in 2mm and following instructions copied URL from NLS link as follows;
https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zo...6832&layers=10&b=4&marker=50.373890,-4.167087
Adding marker right in centre of station, I loaded a 14 tile map. Imagine my surprise when the map loaded predates the arrival of the railway! Just to be sure, I've tried a few times and result is the same (opting for 2nd 25" series results in error!). In the past you could use a specific map that NLS might have, but am I right in thinking this option has disappeared with the move to georeferenced maps, which then begs the question whether selection of location is now a game of Russian Roulette!? If not, do you have any inkling what might have happened, or more likely what I've done wrong again!?
Look forward to your thoughts at some point.
Cheers,
Paul
