I have a list of bywap maps here, also spoke with the council to see how up to date they are, but I am having trouble entering the co-ordinates into google.

Can anyone please shed some light as this would make my job 10x easier

They are just standard 6 figure grid refs mate

Have you brought a copy of the maps from me yet I can't remember :doh

If you have then you should just be able to put that ref in and it will take you straight to it :thumb2

All depends on how the site wants to you to input them.

I've found some want a , or no space or a space. For example XX 999,999 or XX 999 999 XX999999

ah, so in my instance i have it working, but if the area changes I will need to find the area letters (2)

so crossovers for counties ect may get a little tricky.

Thanks
