Looks very interesting. Has a bit of a 'Series 7' look to it, which I like.
Could you add a permalink, primarily so any specific queries/problems
can be clearly identified?
It appears to render OS filed boundaries as grey short dashed lines. Is
this intentional?
As a by-product of the PROW comparison, would it be possible to create a
list (Geojson?) of paths not in OSM but in LA's definitive maps? It's
something I always thought would be helpful to complete PROWS.
Looking forward to the full release.

I mentioned a while back that grough was developing a composite map,
blending OSM data with OS OpenData to fill in the gaps, and using
public rights of way data directly from the local authorities which
have released it. Over time, hopefully we will rely progressively less
on other data sources.
I'm happy to say there's now a beta available, at http://geo.gy/ with
more details about the project at http://map.grough.co.uk/.
There'll also soon be a 3D version available, building on the
prototype at http://3d.geo.gy/ to cover all of Great Britain and
improve the controls.
The source code behind generating the maps is open source, although
not suitable for on-the-fly tile generation because of the
preprocessing. The idea was to create a map which could be printed and
used at a fixed scale (1:25,000 scale), with labels moved around to
avoid obscuring detail etc.
If anyone has comments or advice for us, it would be gratefully
received. We're aware of some issues already, so this is only a beta
release. Similarly if anyone would like to use the maps, we'd be more
than happy to help if you run into problems.
