I am thinking about being able to produce the small maplets on the  
lower right of:
http://www.camcycle.org.uk/map/route/27854/
These are small sections of the route that are shown to the user os  
that they don't need to zoom and pan the main map. On the above page  
small step by step route instructions are shown beside the smaller map  
tiles.
