Euro Route 2.0. Useable for D, NL, B, L, CH and Austria. Pure crap for the rest of Europe.
And it's not even cheap. Someone even tested it to be a winner. Overall rating -1
out of 5.Well, you may rightfully ask what use a digital map is in a Land Rover. Even if it doesn't make much sense at first consider this:
- Ever fancied the idea of having a map with a moving pointer on it indicating your position? This is no SF but you can have it using a digital map, a program like OziExplorer and a cheap second-hand notebook.
- You prefer paper maps? OK, but you can print out digital maps on paper or waterproof plastic. It's cheap and you don't have to worry about the condition of your expensive maps. You can also print your intended route on it without damaging the original.
A last word: If I go into really remote regions like the Outback or the Sahara I will never solely rely on digital maps. A sheet of paper is much more reliable when your life might depend on it.
