"Maps"

I would like to produce a map of the area that my company covers, what is the best way? I was thinking of using google maps somehow but not sure how to go about it anyone had to do this or any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks sorry did it again posted without checking DOH

I think for now I will hash up a map and just use it as an image and get round to the google map when I have a bit more " Playing time"
Thanks for the info

Hi,
Google and MS both offer lots of (free) mapping options.

To get you started this post by cjh will be useful.


Also here's one of my 'mapping posts' from an old Tips post:

Mapping Coordinates - finding Longitude/Latitude

Frustrated trying to find accurate coordinates to use in Google or Microsoft map 'mashups' I created my own page that displays the exact longitude and latitude for any place/building.

You can zoom and drag the map to your chosen destination - down to building level for most of the UK (change the view to aerial or hybrid as required) clicking on the map displays the coordinates which you can then use on your 'mashup' or GPS system etc.

-----------------------------------------

Hope that helps.
It can seem a bit daunting at first but you just have to keep reading and experimenting.

Let us know how you get on!
