David Earl also requested something like this - will try and sort it out.

You can use the search facility to search for places, or add it to the query 
string:

http://www.free-map.org.uk/freemap/edit.php?lat=XXX&lon=XXX

Guess I need a lat/lon entry box.

This is because of my assumption that the grid square "TQ" (and others north 
of it) were the easternmost grid squares covering the UK. A glance at the map 
reveals this not to be the case - the far east projects into the next one 
over. This is corrected now.
