    3. As well as using Parloc, I have three atlases. The OS one is 3 miles to an inch, Collins 1:200,000 (3.2m per inch). The other is hiding so I can't remember, but it's a similar scale. They vary as to their inclusion of small places - hence three of them. I use both "Parishes within radius X" as both list and plot, also 'X is 12 miles SE of Y" for the case where I can find a major X but not my minor Y on the map. Some form of Y's name may appear about where it should. The Parloc database references are to the SW corner of the 1 km grid in which the parish lies, so distances are not exact.
