Could I tap someone's knowledge please: I need a free downloadable map of Norfolk UK to add to my blog. Having difficulty finding on Google. Not sure about copyright issues, etc. Any help gratefully received. Many thanks.

    Not sure of their licence, but Ordnance Survey have some of their maps available for free through Open Data. Might be worth a look.

    Depends how detailed you need the map to be. You could also use the embed code below

    <iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://www.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp ;q=norfolk&amp;sll=53.800651,-4.064941&amp;sspn=7.257184,19.753418&amp;ie=UTF8&a mp;hq=&amp;hnear=Norfolk,+United+Kingdom&amp;t=m&a mp;z=9&amp;ll=52.613969,0.886402&amp;output=embed" ></iframe><br /><small><a href="https://www.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&a mp;q=norfolk&amp;sll=53.800651,-4.064941&amp;sspn=7.257184,19.753418&amp;ie=UTF8&a mp;hq=&amp;hnear=Norfolk,+United+Kingdom&amp;t=m&a mp;z=9&amp;ll=52.613969,0.886402" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small>

    and then get your visitors to click to view the larger map and then print from Google

      Can I ask you one more favour? ;-) This is my page (I'm new as you can tell) North Norfolk Coastal Towns

      I want the map to fill the grey box. How would I do that?

    No problem. To fill that grey box you need to find out the size of it or keep experimenting with different map sizes till one fits.

    To get a new map go to google.co.uk/maps type in Norfolk and then the little link image, then the custom link.

    Or just click this link, choose custom and resize to your hearts content!

      Again thanks! I have resized, although the functions of the map don't appear to work, zoom in and out, etc. These should work right?

        No scratch that, I was looking at the preview blog, not the live one. Many thanks for your help, I was totally clueless on this one, I am on most things on IM. I'm learning daily though......Cheers!
