Eat your own dogfood

I realised this evening that Anna and I have stopped using Streetmap and Multimap.

Whenever we want a map, we now go to Waterscape and type (say) "Charlbury map" into the search box. It works nicely on our 512k broadband connection and is an absolute dream with the high-speed connection at work.

Google Maps? Yeah yeah yeah... get some decent countryside cartography on there, rather than just a glorified A-Z, and then I might be interested.

Hi,
Thanks for the mapping s/w, its really great! Is there a way of getting the coordinates of a say a water point to be displayed in WGS84 format (or any format)? I have a TomTom Go GPS device and I am adding POI's to it, currently using streetmap as it gives me a coordinate although its a pain to convert to the coordinate format I require and its not very good as it doesnt show water points. I switch between your map and streetmap to get the location. If the info is available how about popping the value into the popup window that opens when clicking on say a water point.

Regards,
John
