Prior booking is recommended, as demand is heavy especially during term.
AutoRoute Plus AutoRoute Plus is a comprehensive UK mapping and travel package which can be used to display maps in both customised vector format and bitmapped Ordnance Survey topographic mapping in full colour. Areas can be selected by panning and zooming, in addition to searching the gazetteer. Maps can be printed or exported to other applications via the clipboard. Databases can be created and overlaid on the maps. Detailed travel itineraries can also be displayed and printed.
