    Good web programmer required to develop map system for website

    Looking for experienced and resourceful web developer / programmer for
    following project:
    Or if anyone knows of a company that specialises in this sort of thing would
    be grateful if you could let me know!

    Need creation/production of an accurate scalable map of UK with a programmed
    invisible National Grid layer allowing us to accurately position simple
    icons on the map automatically using national grid references from database.

    Segments of this map will be served up to pages for our site visitors to
    view and to click on the icons.

    E.g: When a town (e.g town1) page is accessed on our site by a visitor, a
    10mile sq segment of the map is sent to the page. Town1 grid reference/icon
    being the center of the map. Also on this map would be other town icons or
    whatever we have in database which has a grid reference within the 10mile
    sq.

    The project is new and i am still in the throws of finding out more details.
    I have been looking at the ordinance survey website and others, trying to
    find materials for the job. Any help guidance would be appreciated.

    Ideally we need a large scalable map of the uk with layers (e.g major roads,
    rivers, etc) that we can use and customise.
    I dont know how the National Grid will be done which will make the map work.
    Any ideas please let me know.
    The existing site is mainly php/myql. and we enter new data into it via an
    admin page.

    Email me your interest and credentials, plus any example url's.

    Sincerely,
    James

    Map project will be really hectic. BTW, I'm curious, why you want to
    do this for the whole UK?

    Some good resources on this:
    <http://en.wikipedia.or g/wiki/Wikipedia:Map> &
    <http://meta.wikipedia. org/wiki/Maps>
