Just found this while having a look around the internet.......... http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php Seems fairly easy to use, just click on the Home page or the Help page for further Info............. _________________ "Money talks, but it don't sing and dance and it don't walk....."

At least I'm assuming this is how he's doing it. _________________ www.mtbnortheast.ning.com - connecting mountain bikers in the North East.

Best to just use it as early in the day as poss as I think the number of "map tiles" a site is allowed to serve gets reset daily:D _________________ www.mtbnortheast.ning.com - connecting mountain bikers in the North East.
