Sorry Alan you are right about embedding a map on your website, the way I understood your posting was that a link is available to place on a website. From what I can see it looks very good indeed, better than the link option, thanks for the info.

You have more than enough room, download the program and have a play with it, if you don't like it ( which I doubt ) you can always uninstall.
I am going out now so any more questions that you have I will answer in the morning.
