Re: Ordnance Survey + Google Maps

Anyone seen this rather nice use of OS's new OpenSpace platform?

http://wheresthepath.googlepages.com/

It looks and works great, but I wish they'd do 25K maps.

Re: Ordnance Survey + Google Maps

Thanks for the links Charles. I tried them but got an error message due to a fetch limit imposed by the OS!  The OS just don't get it.

Re: Ordnance Survey + Google Maps

Hi,

I've recently developed a map using the Multimap API, which, unlike Google maps provides OS Maps.

You can see the map here:

Coed Lleol Map

If you keep zooming in you'll see I've made it default to OS maps as soon as the required zoom factor is reached.
