Looks nice and easy to use.
Will be interesting to see how it works on the Hudl2.

Just a quick idea of how it looks now ...
Some differences ...
Three layers of routes, Byways, Legacy routes, UCR's
Routes now follow the proper course of the route, not a straight line from start to finish.
Legacy info is still available, but won't be updated, it's basically a 'snapshot' of what the database was.
'Everything' ....
Zoomed in to a local image showing all three layers.
Overall view showing just BOATS ...
Hope you like ..

TW2 has had a couple of 'teething troubles'. Some of it down to the uptake by people, which has inundated the servers and has, a couple of times, gone 'over capacity' .. we've scratted behind the sofa and reckon this ought to be behind us now we've found a 50p for the slot-meter ... Some of the issue is the addition of extra base maps and layers which will be filtering through soon, thanks for your patience. There has also been a lot of (from certain quarters) moaning about the lack of old Trailwise info being ported over. Actually the info is all there on the 'Legacy' layer, you just need to read instructions and look for it. Local reps are trying to update every lane on their patch, some quicker than others, I'm useless without my Landy, so it's taking a bit longer than some, me pushbike's a bit painful to ride nowadays ..
An official line ...
"TW2 update. We currently have 1618 user comments submitted and approved and more coming in every day. The comments that contain information on closures, obstructions or TROs are checked by Admin and the TW2 route details amended accordingly.
TW2 now has two options for base mapping, both are Ordnance Survey products. Zooming in will give street names, and zooming out will give the more familiar OS route maps. We are testing a new 'button' which switches between the base map layers - this will give all registered users a choice of maps and the default map has the capability to cope with a higher usage rate. The route details pages mapping is unchanged at this stage.
The team are investigating other base mapping options with a view to giving even more choices of maps very soon.
Remember that any problems you encounter with TW2, or any suggested improvements, should be sent to Admin via the "Contact Us" page."

Cost of entry is going up everywhere, but at least if you go Green Laning, this is a useful cost ..

Whatever's easiest for you my mate, I can give you address of my moms chap in Burton or come and get it myself seeing as you got me out the ****. Wouldn't be a problem for me as I know you have early starts and don't expect you to deliver it!
