Nope, you can only buy tiles for OSNI at 1:50k.  I assume this is because, as far as I am aware, we can only get 1:25k OSNI mapping for the areas you would find on the paper "Activity Maps".  All the Activity Map areas are available for QUO at 1:25k here.  Personally I have 1:50k of all of Northern Ireland and the 1:25k Mournes.  Well worth the money in my opinion!

How come the public can't buy 25k OSNI paper maps? 

Is this a government conspiracy, what are they trying to hide?

You can install on 2 computers.

Can I put the map on multiple PC's? Or will it only let me put it on once?

I thought you could get 1:25k paper maps for all Northern Ireland and it was only the digital ones that were only available for a few areas?

The Discovery Series are 1:50,000 scale and the Activity Maps are 1:25,000 scale but only in certain areas.

That's very interesting. I have a collection of paper maps and every now and again I pick one up and wonder why I bought the 1:50k and not the 1:25k. This explains it and means I'm not a plonker after all

So are the 1:50k maps worth the paper they're printed on?
