Last time I looked at doing it was like Greek to me.<br /><br />I notice that an awful lot of blogs these days put OS maps on their blogs but I am wary to do this as the OS Nazis would be on to me like a shot I am sure, if past experience is anything to go by.<br /><br />Now that I have my wife out of my hair (mostly) I do have more time, so I may well take up the battle again with the O.S. to get maps on my blog in a away that I understand, FOC, legally.<br /><br />Many thanks for pointing me to your triumph, fella - nice to see you again.Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-86115760565733245742009-08-25T19:11:54.226+01:002009-08-25T19:11:54.226+01:00Hi Alan.

If you want to see it in action, pop over to www.landsendjohnogroats.info, pick a walk, click on the 'View a map of this walk' link in the right-hand bat, and there's a new 'OS map' link just above the map. Click on this and, hey presto, the Google Map changes into an OS map.<br /><br />If you zoom in, the map switches to 1:50,000 and then to a more detailed view. Sadly, 1:25,000 isn't supported in OpenSpace, but it's a start.<br /><br />OpenSpace is nowhere near as powerful as Google Maps, and there are some strange bugs in it, but it's nice to see LEJOG routes on OS maps - their proper home, I reckon.<br /><br />MarkMark Moxonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505096001108387285noreply@blogger.com
