|
Hi All
I have just started using TTG in the UK and love it...however am due to be spending a large amount of time in and around Zurich in the next few months.
I currently have the major roads of Europe on CD however was wondering how thorough this is, and if it will give me the same level of detail as I get with the UK map? If not, is there anywhere I can get a Swiss / Zurich specific map?
Thanks |

I think your best course would be to buy Roads of Western Europe, which is a set of 16 European countries including Switzerland. They provide the same detail as the UK map (in fact the UK map is one of the 16).
The set sells in various places for anything from EUR 90 to EUR 189. That is much cheaper than paying EUR 149 for one of the individual countries (which I think is the price at the TomTom website - although I must admit having difficulty finding my way around that site so I haven't been able to check). |

I haven't used major roads of W Europe... TTG over here comes with the all the individual country maps. Map quality on the whole is excellent over here, though I haven't tried it out in downtown Zurich yet (take the train, it's much easier!!)
Speed cam overlays are also available, but not free of charge I'm afraid... |

Thanks for the advice folks, that's really useful :D
What's the cheapest place anyone has found the Roads of Western Europe?
Thanks again |

For downtown Zurich you will probably need the detail maps.
But have a play with the Major Roads of Europe map. There are a lot more places stored in the database than appear on the screen when you use "Browse map". It may be enough for your purposes. I have been able to find a route to quite obscure villages in Europe using MRE (I will be going there to see if it actually works "on site" next month!!), but the map shows the route ending on a road in the middle of nowhere..... |
