Using the last date is the approach I take for the 1:25,000
provisional/first edition maps I'm collecting. Most don't have a copyright
date but luckily I have the excellent book on the 1:25,000 series written by
Peter Hellyer which confirms what year a particular map edition/print
edition appeared
Nice work :-)
Cheers
Andy

I see no physical damage in the unit and it's still working yesterday.
Any idea why? Or how do repair it.
