Re: Where am I? UK Stations new version #3
Well I didn't say it was... but there's a station on the map in approximately the right location with some blurry lettering next to it that looks a bit like the station name, so I assume "yes" (8/20).
(Is there a version of that map available that's actually legible?)

No. (9/20)
A Challenge: your map is illegible as well, no matter how much I magnify it (in fact it looks identical to The Orange One's map). Surely my eyesight isn't that bad!
I'm on a relatively slow connection - could that have something to do with it?

Both versions of the map look fine to me if you zoom in a bit.

Not to me. I've gone right up to 150% magnification and they both look just as blurred as they do in small type. Strange.greatkingrat wrote:Both versions of the map look fine to me if you zoom in a bit.

It is probably the slow connection as it takes a few seconds to loaf in PDF download. Try downloading it and see if that helps, or I could sent you my PDF file.GuyBarry wrote:Not to me.

It takes several minutes for me to download it, and I still can't read it! Perhaps you could send me your version since it clearly doesn't work on my connection.A Challenge wrote: It is probably the slow connection as it takes a few seconds to loaf in PDF download.

(It might actually make quite a good game - see if you can name all the stations on the basis of the blurry text )
