OSM along side OS with 'Where's the Path': http://ur1.ca/44y1f with OS Nat Grid co-ordinations in box on bottom left. Toogle grid on (or off) top right. I like the National Grid. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_National_Grid It allows on to quickly do rough calc of distances between places in m or km, or least a feal for them, that I just don't have with long / lat but maybe that is becuase I use National Grid refs daily at work. cheers Micah -- http://j12.org/sb/ -- _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
