Thanks *all* for comments, it's not that easy trying to marry up a Canalplan printout (names all come from Nick's Canalplan) in one window (as PDF) with Google Earth in another, Streetmap in a third (and then having the list of symbols in a forth and my Excel sheet of the data in the fifth window! - I could do with one of those giant monitors...). Sometime GE or SM has a road name that agrees with canalplan, sometimes not - some bridges seem to vanish (trees are a pain, and so are *new* roads). If I included *all* the bridges it would be (a bit) easier, but then too bl**dy long! so only A roads, railways, and a few B roads made it to the final version Anyway looks like my dark blue just to the marina is a reasonable view. I'll now try to fit in the other comments.
