At long last, I've completed something that I've been planning for some considerable time - integration with Google Maps. Take a look here:

This is infinitely better than the static maps originally in place that were almost impossible to view if the particular grid square contained a lot of sites. You can now dynamically move around the map, zoom in and out, and combine roads with terrain etc. The only downside is that the latitude and longitude that Google Maps uses has been calculated from grid references, which are up to 20 metres out in some places. I'll continue looking for a more accurate conversion and if anyone has a good source of accurate algorithms, I'd appreciate seeing them!
As ever, feedback welcome. I could give instructions but if the implementation doesn't speak for itself, then it is, by definition, not good enough
