Whilst revising the mapping pages, I have made a small change to the maps to improve the legibility.

I have change the map display (as provided by Google Mapping API) to use the "roadmap" style, rather than the "terrain" maps.

However, to ensure that the maps do not clash with the overlays, I have modified them to make them monochrome. They now look like:



This is useful on the colourful analogue radio and DAB maps.
