Two members have recently asked why they can't always see the maps we display on our UK Pub Stopover pages. Well, having done some research, and with one of the members changing their browser - it is an Internet Explorer issue with Google Maps (which we use). The remedies to the problem are explained here.
The other remedy that is even easier is to install a different (and internet standard compliant) browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for example, there are many to choose from and they're free!
If you haven't done this sort of thing before it is very easy and you do not need to get rid of Internet Explorer - you can use whichever browser you have installed on your machine at any time. You can even copy (import) all your bookmarks into the new browser too.
A search on the internet along the lines of 'advantages of Internet Explorer' will result in numerous pages actually criticising the browser. Although it's very popular (maybe because it is the browser that most new computers come with pre-installed?) it causes many issues with very many websites.
You can get Google Chrome downloaded by visiting here and following the instructions and you can get Mozilla Firefox here

If it ain't broke..... Don't fix it!
