This link in the OP is giving me a Not Found error:

http://www.brock-family.org/gavin/go...th/osmaps.html

In post #3 eusty has what looks like the same link and it's working - I think it's just a typo in the OP.

[northking]

The link in the saved document works, this is the full address..

http://www.brock-family.org/gavin/google-earth/osmaps.html

it's not a typo, just been shortened.
