Free access to Ordinance Survey maps

A lot of people like to use Ordinance Survey maps to search for new waters, certain areas etc.

I've seen in a few books the suggestion that it's a good place to start when looking for local, unfished venues.

In the past this has invovled a trip to WH Smiths to stock up on maps, however I've noticed that Bing Maps (http://www.bing.com/maps) provide access to them for free.  You can also put 'drawing pins' on areas to keep track of those you've looked at and those you haven't.

Access to Ordinance Survey maps is under the 'road' subheading.
