Is the Island of Santorini covered by any gps systems and their respective maps?

Hi Garry Platt
I have TT5 and the maps of Western Europe. I have just fired up Tomtom and gone to Map Mode to see if Santorini is there. Alas, no. In the Mediterranean Tomtom appears to go as far east as Italy and no further.

The island is there in outline on Garmin CityNavigator V9, but no roads are shown, only the 'capital'.

Garry I was on Santorini this July and it's fairly easy to find your way round, was our 1st time there I rented a car and just used a map, if you want me to send it to you I am happy to email it you, it's in PDF format and quite good.

I couldn't find a map for Corfu so you've little hope for Santorini. In the end I found a scanned and calibrated map that I used with OziExplorer. If you can find a decent paper map, you can scan it and then calibrate when there but to be honest I doubt it's worth it, you'd be very hard pushed to get lost on Santorini!

Maybe it's me, but I meant a map that you used the old fashioned way Wink

not one for sat nav use. Sorry for any confusion.

Can confirm it's not on TT V660 maps. But it is on GARMIN nuvi 660 - but don't get excited - only the island and a few towns are marked - not a road/track aremarked - but at least you would be able to see your position on a map!

MaFt's Oziexplorer is a good suggestion if you have a copy of it - but it would be cheaper to buy a decent map when you get there.
