duh..... maybe Estonians are all computer geeks & can upload the nearest O map via thier mobile phone (they do everything else with thier mobile phone).. after all it was Estonians that invented Skype

Excellent - I assume it depends on a good, centralised, map register. Its not quite up-to-date (a couple of maps I registered within the last 6 months are missing) and it also omits areas that were mapped prior to about 1998 - but it does show off an impressive amount of effort put in by our surveyors

The World Of O site is driven from the BOF map register available on the web. This is also what drives the map of UK maps.

There are certainly a few data errors (for example, show all HH maps and notice how Cassiobury Park has moved from Watford to Walsall) but we're one of the few nations (can't say federations any more) that has a decent map register available on the web.

I was going to comment that the map on the middle of the North Sea was Norfolk OC's latest attempt to register a event on Scroby Sands (controls alternating between sand bar [top], quicksand [bottom]and wind turbine [3rd blade from the left]) when I realised is was the Suffolk map I gave the wrong grid reference for back in 1999. oops.

Interesting, one of our areas has moved 30 miles north. But then if it's registered with the wrong grid reference what does one expect.

Maps in the wrng place by 30 miles is nothing. At least three Austrian maps appear to have moved all the way to central Africa!
