Has anyone used the Tom Tom map in Morocco?
Has anyone used the Tom Tom map in Morocco?
I'm sure it's not a patch on Olaf on the piste but I was just wondering.
Their global coverage is much greater than I imagined. I suppose we'll get there one day but it seems too good to be true.
thanks

I will ask around, anyway.

I´s not a patch on Olaf´s surely. I had news that TeleAtlas, map provider for Tomtom, was working in Morocco.
A friend has just installed Morocco map on Igo 8. Both must be very similar as TeleAtlas provides Igo too. I´ll ask him.
Garmin and Compegps have an routeable morocco map too.

I have used Garmin Morocco Topo and it is very good, having nearly all of the tracks Olaf and many more beside.
Being routeable is also very handy in busy city's to find your way through, even more so when you are driving by yourself.
It's far from perfect and also I noted that a lot of the tracks were copies of Olaf even when the piste may of changed, so much so I would be amazed if Garmin had not used some of the data.

Yes, been using it for some weeks now.....together with a couple of those available in Morocco shops/supamarkets.......we rent them out!
Best way to discribe is that they are exactly the same in detail and layout as the Euro TomTom, in fact you just download the data......No good for off road of course......but to find your way around Fes, Marra, Rabat etc etc....a godsend.

I´ve installed Igo 8 on my PC with the Morocco map and it don´t looks very well.
Cities like Agadir, Meknes, Tetouan, Kenitra, Nador, Mohammedia are only points in the map... Motorways informations looks to be updated.
I don´t expect a great thing from Tomtom map. As I said the source of the maps is the same.

Like I said, TomTom is not much use “off Road”, but if you use one in the UK/Euro the cheap download for Morocco is brilliant for city locations [60+ towns/cities at street level I think].
On our last tour a client needed the main Fiat dealer in Meknes......from the vehicle handbook we entered the address into the TomTom and it took us to the gates.......can’t ask better than that.

I was not very impressed with the Garmin Morocco map and if I did it over again, would not get it.

I'm going to be using the TomTom map to get me out of the cities and then the Olaf map on a Garmin to help me out with the pistes.
