			The mapping will display in any version of Java, however the more recent releases of Java prevent the address searches from working. To work around this please visit the web site http://www.oldapps.com/java.php where you are able to download older releases of Java, then choose 'Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0.7'. Once this is installed the postcode searches will work normally. If you have more than one version of JAVA on your PC you will get a warning box on screen when first loading the map saying you need to use an earlier version of JAVA, with the option to click 'Run' or 'Cancel' - with Run allowing you to progress further. If you have more than one version of Java on your PC you can select any one of them using the Java Control Panel . If you wish to download the latest version of Java please click here. The installation will typically take only around four minutes on a standard broadband connection. If you are on a corporate Microsoft Windows network, please note that the installation requires Administrator level logon privileges.
