Sweden has made underlying data of the maps publicly available (Lantmäteriet: http://www.lantmateriet.se/en/Maps-and-geographic-information/Maps/oppna-data). They can be viewed online at https://kso.etjanster.lantmateriet.se/?lang=en (switching from topo to fjällkartan). Based on these data you will find at http://bengt.nolang.se/kartor/fjallkartan excellent maps as high resolution JPGs and file formats for GPS devices. This is also the source for the screenshots on this page. I also build our daily maps this way. Simply copy screenshots of the corresponding section into a Word document and then print it in colour. The respective sheet of the day (folded in an A5 transparent cover) is quickly at hand and just as quickly stowed away again and you don’t have to treat it as carefully as the BD6. And in the evening it helps to start a fire! 🙂
