Bill Pearson, from Reaseheath (Bill is becoming a regular contributer; why don't you join him and make a contribution), thought we may like the following...

 "Useful Maps: - There are some great mapping services on the Internet.

Many use Google Maps http://maps.google.co.uk , but in some areas Live Search Maps http://maps.live.com has a better resolution.

Flash Earth http://www.flashearth.com is a good way to compare different aerial views.

There's many more mapping sites here:
http://www.nantwich.plus.com/travel/#maps

Which site is the best, depends on what you're using it for.

I recently discovered this site:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/geo/geohack.php?params=53.08364000000000_N_-2.5268900000000000_E_region:GB_scale:25000
or http://shorterlink.co.uk/13134
It quickly shows lots of different maps for one site. The link above is for Reaseheath College, but you can change the grid references in the URL for your place of work.

Nobody will ever dare say "Get Lost" to IT lecturers with these tools ☺!"

Thanks for your continued feedback and contribution Bill.
