OSM along side OS with 'Where's the Path':
http://ur1.ca/44y1f
with OS Nat Grid co-ordinations in box on bottom left.
Toogle grid on (or off) top right.
I like the National Grid.
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Ordnance_Survey_National_Grid
It allows on to quickly do rough calc of distances between places in m or km,
or least a feal for them, that I just don't have with long / lat but maybe
that is becuase I use National Grid refs daily at work.
cheers
