Default Free OS Maps

Was doing a bit of research on a piece of river and came across this site, I have now got a 1:25,000 map of the exact stretch I want printed for free.

No more following rivers off of one map onto the next, simply find the area you want save, move along the river save again do a little "real" cut and pasting and you have your map.

Also as you have saved the map to your computer you can e-mail it to anyone.

Multimap has an OS layer now and the windows are much bigger than they are on the OS site.

Also, Multimap also goes down to 1:50,000 now which is very useful.

How's that? (Then click the OS Map button for the contours etc.)

Agree and you can drag to anywhere on the map as well.

I also nominate the Google map search as being better again. Try that.
