This could include abandoned orchards, good foraging areas, other preppers (as you get to know them), future meeting points post shtf (including message drop points).
Other things to include would be useful warehouses for food and equipment that your everyday bod wouldn't think of.
You could laminate sections of the map thus making it smaller, you could design your own mini area maps.
Is that what you are thinking?
To cover the whole of the UK would be a huge task!
I think the "make your own " approach suggested by Sue is probably the best option. If I was being a bit paranoid producing maps marked with warehouses, fuel dumps, gun stores ,military bases and other similiar things might be likely to attract the attention of anti terrorism police.
In addition ,and this relates to the defunct preppers map, judging by the responses in the preppers verbal call thread there would seem little point in having members locations marked as even approaching them would be a problem let alone the bigger problem of such a map falling into the "wrong hands".
Again like so many questions on here the usefulness of such a map would be dependant upon the nature of the event. If as I suspect in a breakdown of society situation petrol would become scarce or completely unavailable long distance travel would become impossible or difficult at least so in reality no more than say a fifty mile radius around ones own base would be required which would at least solve the problem of having one book covering the whole country.
As to arranging meetings and that sort of thing, it would possibly be an idea to have a yearly gathering in each area or maybe countrywide pre arranged by the text system we have here,( changed every year ?). At least in the event of an incident we'd have at least one day and place to meet up.
