Stephen,

Something I've just noticed, in fact, I've never played with it before.
In the waypoints screen, there's an option to 'Send by SMS' this successfully creates a text message giving the name and lat/long of a waypoint, along with a URL pointing to your website which I assume is supposed to show the location of the waypoint on a OSM map on the destination phone. Thing is, this doesn't seem to work. All the maps that appear show somewhere in London(close to Buckingham Palace).
Example:
Spice Lounge:
Lat: 51 53 08 N
Long: 0 31 18 W
View on a map:
http://www.trackmyjourney.co.uk/map/?lt=NfWkSvt4&m

This (as does all the others i tried) brings up a map showing:
51 30'7"N 0 8'26"W

The option (under Tools) to send current location via SMS seems to work fine, and brings up the correct location. The only difference I can see is that the working URL takes the form '.../map/p=...' rather than '.../map/lt=...'

Regards,
Chris.

Thanks - I hadn't realised this, will look into it...!

Cheers,
