I could use Goggle Maps but that doesn't half eat up your data and I don't have an unlimited data contract. I'd be willing to collect it within a decent distance of Gy.

Cheers for that but it doesn't seem to work. I can follow the instructions up to where it says "At the bottom, tap the name or address of the place and then tap More and then Download offline map. If you searched for a place like a restaurant, tap More  and then Download offline map and then Download." but I can't see anywhere where it says More!

This gave me the option of downloading the offline map. Surrey would take up 270MB, so it tells me!
