A biro's possibly used to make line on map (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isobar

'line on map' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a biro's possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'biros'='abiros'
'abiros' with letters rearranged gives 'ISOBAR'.

'used to make' is the link.

(Other definitions for isobar that I've seen before include "Weather map feature" , "It indicates pressure" , "feature on some maps?" , "As brio (anag)" , "It connects points of equal air pressure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
