Maps - useful mapping sites:

OS provide maps on-line, which can be printed off from the Ordnance Survey web site:
(https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/shop/os-maps-online.html).
Note. This involves 'signing up' to give basic maps or 'subscribing' for more applications.

'Where's the path?'
This is a very useful site running OS 50K and aerial view on a split screen.
GO TO 'Where's the path' web site - key In 'place name' eg. East Grinstead or alternatively use a Map Reference.
eg. TQ 3987 3861 into the 'search' box.

(Click on to enter 'Search' then paste. eg.TQ 3987 3861 into the box and click on [below the search box] to search!)
This comes up with the 50K map, centered on the map ref. plus the 'satellite' view.
It sounds complicated but once you have done it - it is easy!
There are also many other, interesting, alternative maps available - ie. Old 25K series plus other interesting 'historical' mapping.

Streetmap can be accessed direct, ie. to a 'centred' map of East Grinstead but defaults to 1:50,000 scale - select 'Zoom Level 3' for 1:25,000 Click on 'Map Size' bottom RH corner to display a larger area.
The annoying thing with this is that the map has a pointer imbedded in it. This can moved - with practise!

Bing maps gives a full screen of 25K mapping - but involves more 'instructions'.
