I have contacted the guys at Wams on a few occasions when their server has had issues, and found them to be very helpfull and freindly.

I was a bit disapointed with that DOC mapping website. It runs slow, and the ariels are poor quality comapared to others. Shame really, as they have had the likes of WAMS as a yard stick.

WAMS all the way for me, as I like to toggle between the topo map and ariel pics. Much more accurate way of marking spots that just having topo alone.
