You really need something that does vectors - like freehand or flash. If anyone knows of free versions of those that would be the kiddie.

get you grubby fist in your pocket, ands get autoroute. it has a save as html option, so you just get the jpg out of it.

its only 40 quid. or just copy it of a friend

Have a rummage at www.download.com. It lets you filter the results for software that is entirely free as well.

Visio has a map template, but it is a pig to work with and a product of the great Satan.

Hi folks

Thanks for the replies, all i wanted to do was to send someone a basic map by e-mail, i think i got away with it but wanted it to look as neat and tidy as possible.

Again thanks for the replies
