Expedia is a well-known site for searching good deals on air travel, package deals etc.

    Maps    
  Anquet Maps Anquet’s map software provides easy to use route planning tools with digital maps for PCs, Pocket PCs and Smartphones. The map software can also be used to directly program routes and waypoints into GPS units  

The best selection of all types is bound to be Ordnance Survey.
For example, there's the OS Explorer map for the Yorkshire Dales at £7.99, widely available - or you might go for the ViewRanger™ which transforms a Nokia or other S60 smartphone into a fully featured trail and off-road navigation system.
