I ran across this mapping site today, and it looks like they use an easily-parseable URL format, but I'm not sure about the actual body of the page - there's a fair amount of javascript, but it doesn't look too complex.

EDIT: There's a link at the top left of the page that takes you to the "Old Site" or "New Site". My comments above are for the "New Site", but the old one might be easier to parse.
Gnuite, I too have had a look at this site - Multimap.com. The new site is working on 256x256 tiles and they are mercator projected, like VE and GE. Additionally they have UK topo 50k maps (similar to USGS ones availble from Terraserver); most useful for hiking etc.

The urls, from Firefox, of the image tiles are thus -

http://mc0.multimap.com/ptiles/map/m...vice_seq=14458 for Topo

http://mc3.multimap.com/ptiles/map/m...vice_seq=14458 for route/street maps

They seem to be some sort of quadtree, but referenced from bottom left rather than top left. "13" is the zoom level, with map type being the "mi8**".

Any ideas for a URL to go into MM?

Cheers
