Or you could do what I did, stole it from MG maniac when he left his lappy in the pub

Came across this

The Google Map Buddy

This tool allows you to do the following:

Capture your Google Maps offline and store them as images on your hard drive

Print out maps of entire cities at zoom levels that would take hours to put together with the current Google facility

Best of all, this tool is completely FREE!

If you have ever spent hours print screening your Google maps into Paint and stitching them together you NEED this program!

I'd missed this thread completely. It's brilliant, many many thanks for this.


Coincidentally I have just got a new cellphone Nokia 5800 and have found it has GPS and moving maps on it as standard. The maps could be better but are ok for road work.


ViewRanger offer OS mapping for this and other phones.

To bring this back into the sports realm - www.mapmyrun.com

Brilliant - it saved me about £200 on buying a Garmin runners watch.

Well worth the visit

I have the N97 and bought tiles for my area at 1:25000 from their self selection option.

Bloody good program but I still haven't gotten to thrash it yet.

edit- the new ovi maps are pretty good now they've given free navigation both on foot and in the car. Although I have Garmin mobile for that.

Meridian, you ARE the man! Someone buy him a drink please. Lots of valuable stuff here. Also, I was just about to post a request on Arrse asking if anyone could let me have Garmin compatible maps of the Mekong Delta as they are like rocking horse shit to get hold of. There are some Vietnam War era septic 1:50,000 maps available online but they are too large to download here. Anyone?

Cheers

I use promap for private work purposes, its part or was part of OS and would put all the planning up for you, accounts are free, you pay to print so as long as you can pdf you are fine, even then they are pretty cheap and the close up quality is really good.

I think we looked at Promap on this thread, bomb locations in Southampton
