Hi from Austria
 
Hi everybody, my name is Wolfgang, I'm going to travel to Morocco in April.
I've been there 2009 and 2014, can't wait to be there again, such a beautiful country. I travel by motorbike.
The last times I was with my single cylinder KTM 640 Adventure / KTM 690, each time for 3 weeks.
This time it's different, I travel with my KTM 1290 SAR with my wife, my son joins us with a KTM 990 and a friend with his son on a BMW R 100 GS.
Both co-riders have two weeks, my wife and me six weeks.
We will go from Malaga to Algeciras, ferry to Tanger and then - well, let's see. Two weeks, Marrakech, Fes, Erg Chebbi, Imilchil, Dades/Todra, Algeciras are more or less obligatory. My wife and me then go on, we will see where.
I joined this forum because I bought Chris' book and he mentions it there. Haven't been in a forum for long time, social media took this part.
But it seems people here are helpful, and so - let's see.
Already looked for Garmin routable Maps, I found one but don't remember where :) it's on my son's Zumo 350, want to send it to my friend for his Zumo 390. I already read that Island-Olaf is no more online, who remembers him?
Thanks for the acceptance! :clap:

Hi Wolfgang, and welcome to HUBB.

About 15 years ago I moved from Windows to macOS and for several years after that I continued to run Mapsource on the Mac using Parallels Desktop, but eventually I converted my Mapsource files to Garmin Basecamp on the Mac and I now do all my route planning there.

Olaf's Maroc Topo is still a useful basic resource which I use from time to time both within Basecamp and on my Garmin (BMW Navigator VI). Olaf appears to still be online, see https://www.island-olaf.de/travel/marokko/gps.html

Generally I use OpenStreetMaps (which is routable) and this is loaded on Mapsource, my GPS and also on my iPhone using MAPS.ME app.

April is a lovely time to be in Morocco, so have fun.


All times are GMT +1. The time now is 22:40.
