|
|
Hello guys
well I would like to know is there any navigation software which covers Eastern Europe, at least road maps (cities are not that important)? I've checked MS autoroute, mappoint, streets & tips, and then Route 66 Europe, but none of this software went any further from Western Europe. I am particularly interested in Balkans.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
we don't yet have coverage of the Balkans. The old TomTom Routeplanner had some of the area, but has been discontinued long ago. We'll need to wait a couple more years before eastern europe is covered completely.
There are some solutions available for Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Russia etc, but not for the Balkans. _________________ Lutz

What I find quite odd is - Autoroute 2002 had some coverage of balkans, main roads at least, but new edition 2004 doesn't cover a bit of that |

They probably wanted to keep the same number of CDs and had more data for western Europe so the rest fell off... _________________ Lutz

They could always market a DVD version with everything on.
Seems daft to downgrade coverage. _________________ Ian.
