    Not sure if it'll help, but I threw together a super-quick (and super-basic) tutorial on text on a path. When you say it went awry, were you perhaps trying to move the text by grabbing the text itself, rather than the path, and it kept bouncing back to it's original spot? That caught me out when I was learning.

    Even if you don't need this tonight, I hope it'll help for the future, but just ask if you need more help. Happy to assist, if I can.

    Thanks Chickpea - the problem was it wasn't showing up in the .svg file. It was there in Inkscape and I could do stuffs and things with it, but for some reason it wasn't saving. I didn't try exporting as a .png so maybe that'll work.

    I'm going to crack on with the other bits and then I'll see where I am.

    OK I've done my annotationy thing that I planned on. I can call this one done at this moment although I do have some bits and bobs to sort out, some details.

    I don't really follow the notes, but I guess its not meant to be something a person can see through in just 5 minutes

    Great looking map, Straf
