I don't know if this has been mentioned before but I see Canmore has gone a bit more jazzy. You have to register now but I quite like the new map search.

I don't know who moved this under Wales but Canmore is Scotland if it needs to go anywhere :-)

Ha ha! I did wonder why you'd posted in the Wales forum.

I don't think I'd know how to! :-)

There are the odd few sites in Wales and England on Canmore.
I wonder if they plan to put more sites from Coflein on Canmore? Be good to have them all on one map search.

Both England and Wales now have their own (entirely different) "portal" maps that return search results from several different databases:

England:

Wales:

I cannae get it to work - except on single sites. The old Canmore system where you could zoom to an area and drag a block with a few sites within it and draw up all their results seems to have gone. Pictures I posted of sites on Old Canmore have vanished in the new version.

Bah Humbug!
