Any ideas?

As far as the best places to visit in your time frame, I would suggest you get in touch with Tim Cullis on here. He'll steer you right.
As far as your sat nav problem, I'll do my best to help you (no charge) :smartass: (Bob will be pleased!)

Updated
1)New maps (country map and contours map ) uploaded to my drop box ready for you.
2) I might be able to help with your sahara overland map but I don't currently have sufficient info to identify what you actually have.
As you said you were "not an I.T guy" it would benefit you if we spoke to facilitate things for you.
The ball is in your court Sir !

Our travel dates to Morocco start March 15/2023 and run about 2 weeks. I just noticed that Ramadan starts March 22.
What are your thoughts on travelling during that time?
Should we be changing our timing to avoid Ramadan?

Traveling in Ramadan isnt a problem, in most tourist places things will be as normal. Out of them you need to plan a bit further ahead for shopping and cafes/restaurants may be closed in smaller towns and villages until the evening

It's been like that since at least 2018. Not sure what happened to change things.

I remember 12-15 years ago when Fanum (from UKGSer) had bikers riding shotgun on his massive bike trailer through Tanger to prevent chancers leaping on board.

Ramadan is a PITA as it substantially interferes with my favourite way of passing the time by sitting in a pavement cafe sipping a nus-nus coffee and people watching. You will only be able to do that in tourist areas of major cities. If you have the choice to move dates to avoid most of Ramadan, I would do.

The problems with GPS might not be worth solving. I managed fine from 1972 to 2005 with just paper maps and you will have a much better understanding of the country if you do this. The road network is not complicated and you only need GPS if you are travelling off-tarmac. Be aware that Google has still not updated the road numbers since the massive renumbering changes in 2018.

March can still be cold in the north, so I would head south as fast as possible. You could use the autoroutes to make real fast progress.
