Although my mapping pages have been usable on mobile phones for a while, they've not been very mobile-friendly. I have now written more mobile-friendly versions:
* simple map display pages can be reached from: http://maps.peterrobins.co.uk/m.html
* using geolocation (GPS) to display your current position on a map: http://maps.peterrobins.co.uk/geolocate.html
* the same but with pilgrim routes in the vicinity displayed as well: http://maps.peterrobins.co.uk/geolocate.html?routes=y
Advantage of using a phone for this sort of map display is you can do a lot of other things with a phone which you can't with a dedicated GPS device. Disadvantage is you need access to both internet (which may be a problem in remote areas) and GPS satellite signal; having these on for any length of time soon chews up battery power. So an alternative is to get the maps while you have internet access and use screen capture to save a snapshot of the map, which you can then use in the field leaving internet access off.
