Oneway=yes these days , but otherwise I liked this idea so much I recorded waypoints each time the dual carriageway changed from 2 lanes to 3 and back on the A120/A12 route between Clacton and the M25 today (this morning one way, and this evening the other). At some point I'll try and get around to adding the appropriate lanes tags soon (though I also have quite a few roads to add in the Winnersh area, and after a 4am alarm it won't be this evening).

Should I be able to? Yes, the map should appear on the right in a frame with a thicker border than the parameters on the left. It is quite possible that either the JavaScript or CSS support in IE7 is insufficient to display the map. I must admit that I didn't test with anything other than Firefox - I don't have Windows here to try IE7 and that is probably the least standards compliant of popular browsers. This list isn't the right place to discuss details like this; if anybody else has a similar problem they should contact me directly. -- Andrew. -- Andrew M.
