Thanks Roland, that is brilliant. I need to get my brain around
visualising degrees, minutes and seconds. Its not as easy as grid
references. 

Have found another one already, a different user this time however.

http://map.project-osrm.org/1r7

The original was one I probably wouldn't have found, other than I was
traveling from North Shropshire to Manchester (to see Ultravox) via a
pub where we had a really nice meal. Normally when I go that way I would
be on the A49.

Have had a look around in Mapdust, to see if there is a corresponding
bug to close out, but cannot find one. Amazed this has been here so
long, it is an A road less than a mile from a motorway junction.

Thanks again
