Dear List-mappers,

Yesterday's (Tues 3rd Jan) BBC Radio 4 programme "Shop Talk" featured a
30 minute programme presented by Heather Payton on how maps have
undergone something of a revolution since they entered the digital age.

The Chair of the Society of Cartographers, Steve Chilton, was joined in
the BBC studio by Ed Parsons of the Ordnance Survey and several other
guests from regional studios.

Hear the world wide web broadcast of the programme again online, the BBC
website has an audio file that can be played back if anyone
wishes to hear the broadcast:
