Paper I provides sensitive unbiased coverage of a large region around the Galactic Centre. Details are given for 183 methanol maser sites in the longitude range 345deg through the Galactic Centre to 6deg. Within 6deg of the Galactic Centre, we found 88 maser sites, of which more than half (48) are new discoveries. The masers are confined to a narrow Galactic latitude range, indicative of many sources at the Galactic Centre distance and beyond, and confined to a thin disc population; there is no high-latitude population that might be ascribed to the Galactic bulge. Paper II spans the longitude range 6deg to 20deg. We report the detection of 119 maser sources, of which 42 are new discoveries. Paper III covers the longitude range 330deg-345deg, yielding 198 masers, of which more than 40 per cent are new discoveries. Paper IV span the longitude range 186deg-330deg. We report 207 maser detections, 89 new to the survey. This completes the southern sky part of the methanol multibeam survey and includes a large proportion of new sources, 43 per cent. We also include results from blind observations of the Orion-Monoceros star-forming region, formally outside the latitude range of the methanol multibeam survey; only the four previously known methanol emitting sites were detected, of which we present new positions and spectra for masers at Orion A (south) and Orion B, obtained with the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) array. Description: The detailed plans, strategy, and some sample results from the MMB survey have been described by Green et al. (2009MNRAS.392..783G). In summary, for the present southern sky observations, we first use the Parkes 64-m radio telescope, equipped with a seven-beam receiver, and then complement this with accurate position measurements from the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA).
