Get the most from your OSI Trailmaster

OSI Trailmaster is a PC based interactive mapping tool from the Irish Ordnance Survey and is designed specifically for Irish outdoors enthusiasts - http://www.osi.ie/en/alist/osi-trailmaster.aspx. With OSI Trailmaster now only costing €24.99 per region since early August we expect more and more hillwalkers to start using it. This is your chance to find out how to make the most of its extensive features and start putting it to practical use in creating and using routes on the hills.

The Walkers Association of Ireland is holding a special one day presentation and demonstration, specifically designed for hill walkers, on how to get the most from your OSI Trailmaster. Even if you are only considering buying Trailmaster you should find this course useful.
