I think I got most of your comments done. I've now finished it and installed it on the T&M page. It's a little long - even after much chopping, but not too bad - I did consider doing a expanding one (like I did for the Oxford), but it's very tricky to get it to work as you want, and the page data is long enough to leave it as it it. I did the "big" marinas as someone suggested - the reason why there was only one before (near the end), is that I made the symbol for that one, half way through making the map! I'll have a think about the double locks that are not double at present - can be hard to get enough detail into one 20x20 pixel icon (and they are in svg format to boot!) Will Thurlwood ever be a double again...
