This new edition of the AA's groundbreaking series of ‘Street by Street’ titles, covering the county of Surrey, was fully revised and updated for 2007. Presented in a large format, the maps clearly show AA recommended restaurants, pubs, hotels, one-way streets and car parks. 24-hour petrol stations and garden centres are also highlighted. Also featuring a clever use of colour to ensure they can be read under street lighting and using National Grid referencing for easy navigation from page to page.
These are available from most good booksellers or online from Amazon.
Online Maps
There are now a number of online mapping companies providing free downloadable maps of the UK. These maps are ideal for locating places but they do not normally show the level of detail required for walking, cycling or leisure pursuits. We recommend the OS series maps for these uses.
Google Maps
Produced by the world’s number one search engine, the Google Map function is easy to use and provides clear mapping, with the added feature of showing aerial photography overlaid on the map.
Streetmap.co.uk
Provides easy to use online mapping and has additional search facilities including by street, postcode, place name, phone code, Landranger reference, Latitude/Longitude and OS grid reference.
Multimap.com
Similar to Streetmap, Multimap offers the user a number of search options and has a number of overlays, such as petrol stations and wi-fi hotspots.
