    Google Maps - UK!

    Sorry guys, had to post here - it won't let me post in GPS - forums throwing a wobbly again.

    http://local.google.co.uk/

    Type in a POI and Postcode and it will display them on a map - I wish my mapping data was as concise as this. It has all local street names and everything, I even like the 'bubbly' look.

    I'd lvoe to just have the map data! I wish I could get hold of those maps - any ideas anyone? Does any available PC based GPS System use them does anyone know?

    I've just added it to the incar shortcuts to try later and to see if it is viable for use in-car for those few times my POIs just don't hack it.

    And they also use static maps and overlays, not generated maps like mapquest or mappoint, that sure helps a lot

    Just looked up about the cost of NavTeq data - fell off the seat ... £60,000 for ONE license! I'll stick with my destinator maps I think!
