Geoprojects maps

Canal maps
GEOprojects closed down their canal map section early in 2010 and laid off the people concerned who subsequently set up Heron Maps. Stock of Geo maps is therefore limited but will eventually be replaced by the new Heron maps.

See the individual maps for the latest on that map.
