Rider2, so it could if I wanted it to:
Travel Maps - TomTom
These maps would be fine for getting to a hotel in downtown Marakesh or getting you to the entry point of one of the Chris Scott rides, but once on the trail I doubt (unlike Western Europe where anything the government classifies is on there) it will tell you left or right when choosing between two equally small goat tracks. Last time I was in Morroco the Garmin detailed mapping was also limited to the N-roads. TT will use the same map agencies, the advantage of the Garmin is that you get past these to the full data on the free sites. Get to a point where that hotel looks tempting though and TT will get you back to the highway and there just from the post code, no need to try and find long&lat from a tourist centre receptionist who only knows it's near the cake shop (sorry that one was Belgium).
It's about ease of use and where you are likely to go. Nothing to stop you adding a hikers reciever to the free post-code-and-go TT unit. Have auto find for the hotel and long/lat for the deep desert for under £100.
