Free maps.

RE: Free maps.
ive been using google upto now myself, and whilst google eearth and google maps certainly have their strengths (scouting out roads and all sorts of things) its not very useful to print out!

althoough i do find this interesting


"As Ordnance Survey complain to us whenever users exceed the 65000 tile a day limit they've imposed on us we've now brought a new map server online which we switch to when that limit is exceeded.

You have collectively used 66548 tiles today so we are now using that server and it will remain online until midnight.

This server serves the same tiles as the OS OpenSpace server for large scale maps but for 1:50,000 it uses a combination of data released by Ordnance Survey under their OS OpenData programme for the mapping and contours along with path data from the Open Streetmap project to produce tiles which we can legally serve to you without quota restrictions.

If you find that unsatisfactory for your needs please try again tomorrow."


....so make sure you get there early to look at the small scale maps! im having to wait an hour or so before i can go and do some good route planning and exploring.....i love the route feature, just middle click and you can set up routes on the map!
