I agree Sheep... the poll has stimulated debate, and although mainly based on those HERs that cater to a more general audience, the debate has looked at professional usage as well.
A what do people want list
we are best placed to answer the what do professionals want... how to get the other opinions.
Pooling resources of different councils... saving money...
I feel a snowball has just frozen in hell 
That however is a valid statement of sense... The WoSAS map is good.. but only for one county... (at the moment)
The offer stands though about a multi filter, buffering sql search query googlemap... OR a simple point and click show me stuff there...
Its is not so much if as when... the technology exists now.. and although I agree about the iPlayer fun on a .5Meg connection... (though I have squeezed another .1Meg out of mine) it would be like saying, we can't develop electric cars as nobody is using them just now...
I hope people have another look at the Highland one :
http://her.highland.gov.uk/Map.aspx
though I found the map clunky (as I could not tell what a site was until I click on it... and relied on overlay ... which we hopefull will move on from) it is the closest to what I am talking about.
For the Wosas one..
