Ordnance Survey Getamap: There is a great new service from Ordnance Survey. For an annual subscription of £19.99 you can now view maps anywhere in the country at 1:25000 scale, plot routes and print out the map and the route. You can also import and export routes to your GPS. There isn't a cheaper way of accessing Explorer maps! More info here.
