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 comes ...
...this review will be upon, but of necessity, comparisons with streetmap will be made. Recently, I needed to go to Batley, in West Yorkshire and also Slough, just off the M4 and alas, street-maps of these two places were missing from my collection! I also had to journey to Rubery, to the south of Birmingham. My Birmingham map covered this area but unfolding the thing in the car, at about 3ft square whilst driving, posed a bit of a safety hazard so…….? ...

Review of multimap.com

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 ...
...huge area, and often I am at a loss as to where I need to be. Enter multimap.co.uk – a site I rely on and refer to, as do many of my colleagues, who phone me to find out where places are. The site provides street maps and travel directions for the UK, Ok so any street map will tell you that – BUT enter the postcode of the place you seek, and it will show you the map, with the specific area pinpointed! Try it with your own postcode if ...

Review of multimap.com

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 ...
...of the instructions and a step by step part which give a small map of each stage. Both which are equally useless. Enough of my whinging. Let me point out the basic problems of this part of the service. (In order of importance/irritation) General/overview mode 1. Roundabout directions are given as "Bear Left". I understand that this is because to get off a roundabout you do in fact "bear Left". BUT IT DOESN'T TELL YOU WHICH EXIT TO "BEAR LEFT" ...

Review of multimap.com

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 ...
...therefore access to www.multimap.co.uk. You are greeted with a pleasant looking home page welcoming you and offering you travel directions to wherever you want to go on mainland Great Britain including the Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Anglesey and the inner Scottish islands. This is the place where all your road travel arrangements can be solved not just by showing you the route to take but taking you right to the door of your destination, by providing ...

Review of multimap.com

...so easy to use. Multimap.com gives you free, interactive maps, Ariel photographs, London Underground maps, weather forecasts, links to local information and travel directions. There’s also online mapping for businesses and if you have a WAP you can get street maps, travel directions accessed to your mobile. The site is FREE of course and it’s very simple to find your required map, what I like is the scale is big so it’s easy to ...
...go. The Ariel photographs of London are very good and are worth a look, some of the view are very impressive. The site is well organised and the search engine is excellent and makes finding your location very easy. You can enter a place, address or a post-code. Feel free to give them feedback, I e-mailed them to say how the site was just so excellent, and was really grateful. About four weeks a go when I went to London for a weekend, it was quite ...

...at different times e.g. it might be better to take a different route at rush hour. Another great thing about multimap is that you can find overhead pictures which are much more clear than any other websites that i can find. They are so clear that you can see trees and cars. You can even set it as your desktop wallpaper or print it out. I find this website extremely useful as it helps you to find the way to any arkward places. Although iit is only ...

Review of multimap.com

...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 ...
