Must have been approximately 3 months ago that Roger approached me with the idea of putting an article together for Remolition to do with the idea of exploration. He thought that one of my previous postings entitled 'The Joy of Maps" could be quite useful as part of the piece, and would it be okay to nab bits here and there? I've never got a problem with people using bits and pieces, [with permission of course and the obligatory 10% of all profits : D] so agreed and promptly forgot all about it.
Till earlier this week and the following got released:

Wow! It looks like loads of other mountain boarders like maps too including Joe Gatley, Evil C, Spud, Ian Hufton, Roger Swannell and the ever mysterious Ade McC.
The original TDB post still seems relevant with the original mapping services supplied by google, bing and others continuously updated. A handy one to note in google is the option to Drag 'n' Zoom enabling zooming in on a specific part of the map fast and easily.
"Simply click the Drag 'n' Zoom button, draw a box on the map, and zoom! You're there!"
....once you've enabled the function within the beta menu (New! next to My Profile)
