Advantages: Free. Comprehensive. Easy to use. Disadvantages: Maps need to change format to square.
I am crazy about maps as those of you who have read one of my previous opinions on “A-Z Maps” may have gathered.
Places that I visit regularly will have a Town Map all to themselves but other ones that are “one-off” visits warrant a trip to one of two web-sites, either “multimap.com” or less frequently, “streetmap.co.uk”.
Multimap will usually satisfy the needs of the average traveller when it ...

Advantages: CAN FIND MY WAY OUT OF A PAPER BAG NOW! Disadvantages: NO EXCUSE FOR NOT GOING TO WORK
I have recently found one of the most useful tools imaginable on the Internet (aside form Ciao of course). The site in question is www.multimap.co.uk. Ok I hear you say, not the most stimulating of sites, BUT wait hang on there a minute, can ANYONE reading this HONESTLY say they have never been lost? Unsure of where they are going?? No I didn’t think so!
As some of you will know I work as part of the district nursing team which involves travelling ...

Advantages: maps are pretty good; Disadvantages: the directions
Yes yes, Multimap is very good for maps and the other authors are right in their praise of this part of the service. Unfortunately I have to disagree with everyone else and say that the directions on this service are basically useless!!! I feel that I am justified in saying this because I got lost in the depths of the countryside round Guildford. I was late for an appointment by a mere 2 hours. (Sadly this is no exaggeration).
There are two parts ...

Advantages: Solves your road travel problems Disadvantages: Site is a bit slow
Imagine the situation. On the following Monday you have that important interview out of town and you know how to get to the town but you have no idea how to get to the actual place of the interview. You know the address and post code but that it is all. It looks like a trip to the local bookshop is called for in the hope that they have a street map of the area that you want but they don’t have one.
Fear not, all is not lost because if you ...

This is a very good online mapping service, very easy and works really well. It will give you destinations from one place to another with ease.
It also provides street level maps of Europe and detailed maps of the world. It’s better than you’re A-Z map, because it’s so easy to use.

Advantages: Got me from A to B as easy as 1,2,3 Disadvantages: If you find one then please tell me!
...I asked my trusted friend multimap.com to help and it delivered once more. It not only helped find where I had to go, but also pointed out a convienent shopping mall right next to my uncles. So while on route I picked up a couple of pressies, knocked on the front door of my uncles and gave them a really pleasant surprise. Brownine points for the pressies and bonus points in being able to find them without their help. If you're ever stuck and a little ...
