View on mapShare your position and the closest lakes in County Cork are sorted for you. Your position is used in this browser to sort the list, and is not sent anywhere for that. Asking for directions is the exception: both ends of a route are needed to work one out, so they go to this site, in the body of the request rather than in the address, and the reply is marked not to be stored.
