Where is the path has been a hugely successful mashup.
(note the yellow bar in the bottom left corner is number of tile impressions - if goes red it is very close the daily limit.)
Now with even more new features:
1) Diagram of Magnetic, True and Grid North relationships
2) Estimated (Naismith) hiking times
3) Sunset calculator (to check if a planned route should end before dark).

Another reminder to Ordnance Survey - raise the limit on OpenSpace tile impressions please - even for this one url. (currently OS tiles have a 30,000 limit per 24hrs - it needs to be 75,000 at least).
