I have been using this map for a while now, although not in Morocco, just planning with it loaded into Mapsource and nRoute and it's well worth having, loads of fuel stations (although I'm not sure all are there) and the pistes match up with the ones I have done so far and Olaf.
One of the nice things about nRoute is you can switch between maps in an instant on a drop down menu, so you can use the best map for the area / piste you are on at the time.
EDIT, just in case anyone missed that other maps are Here

import jpg maps - at last
24/7 just sent me the .exe of 3.7mb and someone else said the map itself was 6mb.
I could not open the .exe as Mapsource (req'd) is not Mac'd and BaseCamp (replaces MapS?) is Mac'd but didn't like .exe.
But - fyi - in the intervening hours lost in Garminworld I have learned that with Garmin CustomMaps you can finally import any scanned or digi jpg map into a GPS unit by 'calibrating' it against Google Earth as an opaque layer, and then saving as a kmz to import into a unit's /directory which, with a sat image .kmz could sort of = GE in a GPS... Possibly very nice.
This has always been the holy grail in the central Sahara (maybe not so much Morocco) where detailed digi mapping (free or otherwise) is scarce but the excellent IGN maps (1m, 500k and 200k) needed to be hooked up to a laptop). Directly off a big screened GPS would also be nice. You could look at the screen IGN, relate it to a paper IGN and get the big picture in a flash.
Problem is, my old 76csx hasn't got the poke for CustomMaps but the newer 78 does - as do all the touchy Dakotas, Montanas, etc.
stop me if I'm going on...

Take care downloading Viagens maps. I just did for comparison , and it wiped out about 30 other maps I had in Mapsource. Got them back after a system restore, but not very reassuring. Of course, this may just be my system...
