"A special edition of A-Z’s digital London Mini Street Atlas which includes Transport for London’s cycle route information has just been launched.

The digital map operates on a mobile phone or a GPS device and covers 150 square miles from Wanstead to Wimbledon and Brent Cross to Eltham. It has a searchable index of more than 129,000 entries, including streets, postcodes, districts, stations, hospitals and bike shops. Clicking an entry in the search results field will quickly display a map showing its location.

Used with a GPS receiver, the map moves to keep the cyclist['s position] at the centre of the screen. Current speed and the direction and distance to a chosen destination are also shown."
