Free Mapping Service

Website www.multimap.com is free mapping service based on Ordnance Survey data. Any area in the UK can be called up using 1:10000, 1:25000 or 1:50000 scales. The program either responds to postcodes or postal addresses. If you are prepared to accept adverts around your map then this is a good service – particularly at the asking price.
