Hi,

Doing a load of work at the moment with Welsh Water and most, if not all of their postcodes are iffy at best. They've said that they can give me a grid reference map.
Does anyone know of a suitable app that I could use.
Just have to say that the roads in west Wales are awesome. Having fun in the Renault Traffic, not sure if my apprentice agrees !!
Cant wait to I get up to the northern part of Wales.

I'm so useful!

lol

On a perhaps more helpful note, check out some of the stuff you can get in camping shops - I am sure Garmin must do a pocket- (or even wrist-) sized GPS gadget that you can use for coordinates if you use Sat-Nav to get you to roughly the right area

Thanks for the info, but I have absolutely know idea of what you are talking about when you mention base mapping.
Sorry.
