I am currently having my website search facility redesigned and am looking for a knock-out, interactive map of the UK and London. I am willing to pay for one to be built if I can't find what I'm looking for. The developers and designers I have hired are not too familiar with UK regions, Counties etc.

For the UK, I think I want the map to begin as Regions > Counties with the search results then listed. At least until the database is populated further.

However, London database is populated so searches can be narrowed further, to district, e.g. Kingston, West End, City etc. possibly even post code N1, SW18, W1 etc.

Some examples that I think are pretty good are listed below. I realise the need not to infringe copyright and am looking at keeping the IP Rights to the new map, although that isn't a deal killer:-

The Training Wall

Advance Pub Search

I have also found some good maps to purchase:-

UK Regions & Counties with an Interactive Flash Map for custom maps

United Kingdom and Ireland Locator online map. Free download sample and demo version maps.

Interactive Flash maps | United Kingdom map sample

Would this be the best way to go? Are there any legal issues I should consider?

Any help would be much appreciated. many thanks
