If you want maps for your Garmin GPSr and don't want to use Topo GB then you could use the FREE ones from OpenStreetMap [http://www.openstreetmap.org/]. The map files offered here are compiled from the mapping data at OpenStreetMap. The license for these maps are FREE, here is some data from the OpenStreetMap site: "OpenStreetMap creates and provides free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected way.

Well we are delighted to announce that so far we have raised over £1,000 for Help 4 Heroes. We would like to thank everyone who bought one of the Help 4 Heroes geocoins and has opted to round up their order on our site. Without you we couldn't have been able to achieve so much in such a short space of time. We will be delivering the first cheque to Help for Heroes who are based in Tidworth Wiltshire in the very near future so watch this space. Please continue to donate for this very worthy charity that is needed now even more than ever.
