Hi there what GPS maps/systems have you found the best coverage for Morocco? I have a feeling the old TomTom won't do to well but you never know... N

Olaf's free Marok Topo running on Garmin systems.

Personally I use the Zumo 550 motorbike/car GPS. See the notes in the Knowledgebase in my signature for more info on setup.

Perhaps vito smartmap will help you.

It is simpel and cheap (4$) software for PDA/GSM.

VITO Technology - Windows Mobile & iPhone Software

If this website is not updated try google with "Vito smartmap".

Good luck.

I downloaded the free map (posted by Tim) onto my PDA which i run memory map on here in the UK. I also bought the T4A map but found the free one had far more information and routes on! So i just used that with the topo feature overlay off. On the PDA the maps work on Garmin Que software. this is a basic PDA version of mapsource.

coupled with the Michelin 742 paper map, you cannot go far wrong

worked really for us, made the route planning and journeys far more relaxing and enjoyable (the girlfriend is not the best navigator, but learning fast!).

hope this helps.

thanks guys!

I'll firstly give the Vito software a go as I have a PDA with an external GPS reciever.

Probably just buy some precalibrated maps which Vito apparently supply.
