Large scale map for France, Spain and Portugal (1 Viewer)

[Chockswahay]

Right then, the GPS is ordered and comes tomorrow............... now I need to sort the maps out.

Does anyone have any advice on which one's to buy? I'm thinking a scale of about 4 miles to 1 inch would be good. Also maps that clearly show toll roads (for me to avoid)

Many thanks

There is a good large scale France map sold by WH Smiths large scale is easier to read plus you van get lost easier too JOKE I looked for a large scale Spain and Portugal map a couple of years ago but never found one...Go Large it makes sense and don't put all your faith in a Sat Nav...

best maps i have found for spain and portugal is a cepsa mapamax book . its not very expensive 6,90euro. bit more from amazon scale 1.400.000 but does have better maps of major towns etc . plus a list of the speed cameras,
shame it does fall to pieces after 5 months away .
on my third one now . but well worth it specially if following the coast all the little coves etc are named on it .

We agree with Leftlegger that the AA Big Easy Read map of France is best as it's 3 miles to the inch, so very detailed. It's been very helpful to us when Sat Nav has thrown a wobbly.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a similar one for Spain. The one that we use for Spain (and Portugal) is this: -

Hope this helps.

For France wait till you cross and buy here !! I have never bought a map for any country except Morroco any where else but in the country. Stop at first supermarket or petrol station

We also use the laptop (Google maps) and recently bought Microsoft's AutoRoute 2013 with the GPS Locator...still carry Maps though and always will:Cool:

I too prefer maps as well as Sat Nav, it's the planning that I love being able to study to map before hand and plan your route and seeing local landmarks on the route or just off it really helps. :thumb: :thumb:
