[Archive news post] For clarity's sake, I would like to point out that none of the data used for mapping at Nottingham Travelwise has been derived from any Ordnance Survey dataset. Locations have been calculated using freely available Tele Atlas-based (Google Map) tools. This uses a flexible in-house geocoding interface, available to the outside world in order to comply with Google's own terms & conditions.

We today experienced one hour failure on website and CCTV functions, due to multiple power failures throughout the night. Interestingly, it was the uninterruptible power supply which controls our main network switch that went down. All systems are now restored, and apologies for any trouble this may have caused.
