09:51 - My complaint to UBD


Admittedly the UBD Melbourne Mini Street Directory only retails for $10, so this may be a case of "you get what you paid for", but still, I was annoyed enough to write in to www.ubd.com.au:

I recently purchased the 1st edition of your Melbourne Mini Street Directory. The compact size is ideal for cycling trips. Unfortunately I was very disappointed to see large Melbourne suburbs such as Epping, Craigieburn and Werribee omitted entirely from the rear of the directory. Yet, illogically, maps of distant non-urban localities (such as Somers, Tooradin and Phillip Island) are included.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide decent maps of ALL of the suburban area of Melbourne in a compact directory.

Alternatively, you may want to consider producing a compact street directory more suited for cyclists. Such a directory could highlight cycling-friendly routes, and could omit the index of streets. I'm sure many cyclists would pay $20-30 for such a directory.

Thanks,

Regards
Andrew
