There is a UK service for mapping www.multimap.co.uk and it can be fed long/lat as follows:

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely look into that.

Why?

Everything is written in C#. If you have Windows XP you probably already have the .NET Framkework unless you haven't put a single update on your computer.

but i need 2 find someway to steal their map database somehow. any1 knows how to download their entire database?

As for for bringing up those maps with an internet connection I don't think that will be too difficult. Ripping the whole database is a differant story though. I'm sure it could be done but it would be difficult to organize all the tiles and display them how you want.

That would ( for us using mapmonkey :) ) avoid using com port spliting software and using nmea :D

Does MapMonkey have any way of interfacing with it?

So it can do UK maps (I still have to add in zoom, scale and the other stuff) but I was looking at the maps terms and conditions..... Am I going to get in trouble for doing this? :)

Ok, Frodo, how about an open ended question this time :) How do I interface with MapMonkey, or get on msgr and tell me.

Yeah, just look in the mapmonkey forum, its called monkey talk....

Tell me something, can you use mapquest or google maps for the maps? I am in Brazil and those 2 have map data on the web available from coordinates....

Thanks for the info on monkey talk. I haven't looked much into the mapmonkey stuff since I stopped using destinator.
Once I get the realtime part working those will use the Google maps since those seem to have the fastest scrolling.
I was just looking into using the MapQuest maps as it seems like those are offered in the most areas. The only thing I am worried about though is the whole legal issue. I read the terms and conditions and it says you can't reverse engineer their page, which I would have to do. Anyone know if I could get in trouble for putting their map images in my application?

xBrady,
Just a quick observation, you'd need to observe the polarity of the Longitude for UK stuff, we span the meridian...
