<p>My wife is due to under take her <a href="http://www.mountain-training.org/walking/skills-and-awards/lowland-leader" rel="noreferrer">Lowland Leader</a> course in then next couple of months and she has been advised to gain experience using <a href="http://www.harveymaps.co.uk/" rel="noreferrer">Harvey Maps</a> as well as the more familiar Ordnance Survey maps. 
As far as I can see the only advantage they have is that they are waterproof as standard.  They don't cover the whole of the country and are not as widely available as Ordnance Survey maps so I can not see a reason why it would be necessary to use them.</p>

<p>What advantages do Harvey maps offer over Ordnance Survey maps?  </p>
