How reliable were French maps for the invasion plan?

Poor geographical information undermined French invasion planning, though no particular map is identified.

Question

How accurate were French maps in this period?

Short answer

They are judged poor, consistent with the broader lack of accurate geographical information behind the invasion plan.

Notes

French maps in this period receive a poor assessment. Poor geographical information complicated planning for both the landing and the march inland. No particular map or survey is identified, so this remains a general assessment of the planning information.
