Orange coverage map

For the last couple of days I've been trying to use the Orange coverage map
here:
http://coverage.orange.co.uk/uk/UKCoverageSearch.htm

But it's giving an error. Anybody used it successfully recently?

Thanks, but your link just gives me a five bar indicator for the postcode. I
need a map as I am planning for a music festival.

If Orange's map hasn't worked 'for months', then why is the map page still
online? Useless, sloppy, lazy company.

Who on earth would consider that useless heap of dumbed-down crap as a
"favourite"?

Leaving aside the fact that it is about 1% as useful as a map, the
results are wrong. One postcode I tried is supposed to be 5 bars, but
the reality is that you need to be near an upstairs window to get any
signal at all.

More Orange dumbing down.

The map system is all but decomissioned now as far as I know.
