I've just found this website. Very handy for tweaking UK grid refs.

Wikimapia/Multimap issue
As last time we were talking about issue of maps, I'm affraid that using Wikimapia directly isn't best option. Till nowdays I've usually been finding sites on Wikimapia or other sources and then find the same place on multimap and I took lat/long from multimap. Wikimapia is very, very accurate about the locations on the map (it's a satelitar photo, so it's extremely accurate), but the latitude/longtitude numbers assigned to the sites seem to be not accurate enough. There's another mistake like that about Codula Manna Nuraghe, the correct location is:
40.29668
9.6405
(I would be very grateful for correction).
In that case I think the strategy of finding the sites on Wikimapia/other good map sources and then pointing this place on multimap to get lat/long is better. What do you think about this ?
Best regards
Cezary
