Move over clunky old Multimap, bye bye StreetMap - and as for Microsoft's dodgy offering well this just blows them away.

Stare in awe at the smooth-scrolling drag around interface! Crystal clear rapid direction and route planning is here!

As an example - type in "Motorcycles in Derby" into the search bar and watch what happens. Now click one of the balloons on the map to get an elegantly shadowed pop-up box with all the details you need, and the option to "route to" or "route from".

It's still in Beta at this stage. I'm seriously impressed.

Have you searched for "wells" yet?

The more I use it the better it seems............. now what would be really cool was if you could add your own waypoints..........I've noticed that I can't search within an area and then copy and paste a URL of that specific map detail on here or email it.........(you could do this with MultiCrap)

Hopefully there's more improvements to come

You wanna add your own info Sam ?
Hows about the mapping thing that is part of the Bikers Oracle set up !

http://www.bikersoracle.com/bikersmap/

Same level of detail as on the other map ( which by the way is fookin BRILL and you can have a gold star for finding ) but you can add your own details or details of good places for bits, fuel, eats, etc etc
