The BSBI MapMate Book
We recommend that you view the YouTube video clips using full-screen: use the icon which appears at the bottom right of each video once the video has started to play.
The BSBI MapMate Book, by Martin Rand is available within this website.
If you are having issues installing MapMate on a Windows 10 or 11 computer, please follow this guidance. There is also guidance for the Windows 10 and later analysis bug.
