Greetings all...
while doing some family tree research in merry olde england, I notice that Multi-Map, which was a very good british map viewing format, was bought out by Bing. I don't suppose there is a legal way to get that MM layer to show up in GM like world imarery does...
Also related to this area...
What is the best way to bring in the OS OpenData for viewing in GM?
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/products/os-opendata.html
or the other UK Ordnance Survey data available for free?
Take Care

Craig,
A lot of the OS data is available as GML files that should load right into Global Mapper, although they do keep tweaking the format so make sure you have the latest GM if you have any trouble.
For the Multi-Map I'm not sure, but there are ways to subscribe to Bing Maps data (which I'm guessing will incorporate the Multi-Map data) as a WMS source. See http://register.onterrasystems.com/wms.aspx for details.
Thanks,
Mike
