I use the satnav for most of my route planning,but I also like to have a road atlas as a back up. As both the UK and European atlas need replacing , can you recommend any, of the many which pop up after a goggle search

We have tried a good many, but the Philips one seems to come out on top year after year

The French AA one is good because the sections of toll road are clearly marked as a darker blue. Unlike Michelin where it's anybodies guess.

'er indoors likes this one. Very good coverage can be bought in most French motorway service areas, large supermarkets ie Hyper U, Leclerc ... others are also available

Handy as it has reminded me that I need a new one for the whole of France ,another for Spain & possibly a German one .
My first 2 are 2002 vintage & last is 2008

For the whole of Europe I like the Phillips as mentioned above. For larger scale it's either the AA map or buy a map locally. The satnav is great but I'm old fashioned enough to want to know where I am in relation to other places

Does it give you the width of the roads?

Our maps are blue. Cant remember if Michelin or Phillipps or AA because i dont think it matters that much.

What matters to me is that it is ring bound and laminated so that it lasts an awful long time and that i purchase it either from amazon or ebay for cheapness.

As I am a member of CMC, I use dash4it.co.uk to buy maps as there is a good discount.
Very quick service too.
I like Michelin maps in Europe the big A3 one for Franc3 in particular.

Anyone?

The Michelin one (both just France and the European one), colour code the roads so you can easily see the grade of road.
They also show scenic routes.
Not detailed widths though,

I like individual one of each country. All Europe is too small a scale or a monster book.
I prefer the spiral bound ones. I also like the books that give you the countrywide major routes/motorways on the front pages
