About Weekend Map Notes

Who writes Weekend Map Notes and what the site covers.

Weekend Map Notes is a small set of practical notes on planning short trips: choosing a planning app, using maps without signal, reading a forecast, weighing local advice and being a considerate visitor.

Who writes it

The notes are written by Ingrid Tolliver, a pen name for someone who spends many weekends on back roads with a phone, a paper map and a flask. No professional qualification in travel or navigation is claimed.

About this address

This domain was previously used for a local guide app in New Zealand. This site is independent. It is not that app, is not run by the people who made it, and has no connection with the businesses or places that app listed. There is no app to download here.

How the notes are put together

General definitions are linked to their Wikipedia articles. The pages avoid prices, timetables and local regulations on purpose, because those change and differ from place to place.
