Thanks rhowe. Pretty timely. Having done the A-Z dissection it obviously does'nt go out as far as Amersham and Chatham, which I want to include at the correct scale. The A-Z's I have use a scale of 1:22,000, which is not a scale used any of the google maps zooms in (wording?) so I'm looking to print out some pages of the roads out that way in that scale, so maybe I'll find them there.
Continuing my usual think of a idea without any idea of how to do it method, I've been getting all excited about doing a possible animation. As I've GPS tracked every bit of riding I've done on this so far, its got to be possible to animate it all together. So say have a flashing blue dot, (me) riding along, and when I get to the start of a line I leave a 'snail trail' in the colour of the tube line, Victoria blue, Northern black etc. Speeded up obviously, but this could show the evolution of the map in the order I've ridden it, and with a bit of music added will be bloody brilliant. So I'm determined to try and make that a reality somehow.
