My only criticism of Moroccan roads is specific to the unpaved roads (not unpaved tracks, but unpaved roads) - it would greatly improve things if the local municipalities graded the unpaved roads from time to time.

We're kind of digressing from your good report on your findings with the different nav options.
Some roads are unpaved because thats they way the country operates, the costs of paving some of these is prohibitive for a country with a low GDP and very high unemployment levels. The N12 still has sections that are unpaved and this is a major highway for the south of the country.
Progress on surfacing roads in Morocco is very fast at present mostly due foreign investment but events like last years flooding can wash away even major highways over night, repairs in the remote areas can be difficult to facilitate quickly if the equipment and materials aren't avialable locally. That said the authorities and locals are very good at making do with what they have.
TBh a lot of us would rather they slowed down the paving of the good routes and leave more piste
