Maps for off-road planning: Romania, Croatia, Serbia, Turkey
Maps for off-road planning: Romania, Croatia, Serbia and other countries in south-east Europe and western Turkey
Hi there, I’m planning a trip to the above mentioned countries this summer. I will drive from the UK in a van with a road bike and a dirt bike in the back. Planning the road routes in Romania, Croatia, Serbia (and possible further east to Turkey) etc should be straight forward, but I’m struggling to decide which map(s) would be suitable for sorting out possible off-road/unpaved days on the dirt bike. I have looked here: http://www.stanfords.co.uk/go/romania http://www.stanfords.co.uk/go/croatia/ http://www.stanfords.co.uk/go/serbia-montenegro/ and http://www.stanfords.co.uk/go/turkey/ Does anyone have any opinion on what’s available in the way of maps, particularly for unpaved road details? I hope to participate in http://www.enduromania.net/ Also: Do you know any off-road bike clubs in this part of the world? What about sites for Garmin compatible GPS maps and waypoints? Any input gratefully received. Kind Regards, Chris

Romania
For RO try this one: Romania Road Atlas
It is very detailed and shows just about every road, even dirt-roads. Strangely enough for the German speaking market they offer a 1:250,000, while the one above is 1:300,000. Hans

Possibly smellybikers wanderlust world map may go that way .. go have a look at what is offered - there is a sample map you can download. Maps catalogue tend to be main roads only .. and while free require generation of the mapsource .tbl and .img preview files .. larege learning curve.

One good place to start searching for free garmin gps maps is here: Search free Garmin maps by location
For Romania: - free: Map list - not so free but the best: HERE (check the Live Demo also) I don't use paper maps so I can't advise you on those.

Maps
Hi
If You use Garmin, then buy Adriarute and Adriatopo this should be enough for Slovenia, Croatia and Montenegro. Check on Garmins web site to be sure. If in Croatia don't miss Velebit mountain, it is off-road paradise.

Ups
I forgot to write!
Shop called IGLU SPORT here in Zagreb did have excelent trekking maps of National Parks and Parks Of Nature a few years ago when I needed them, I think that they should still sell that stuff. Contact them! They are very friendly and helpful. They could also know some maps for neighbouring countries. Iglu sport iglusport@iglusport.hr
