Has anyone used the Tom Tom map in Morocco?
Has anyone used the Tom Tom map in Morocco?
I'm sure it's not a patch on Olaf on the piste but I was just wondering.
Their global coverage is much greater than I imagined. I suppose we'll get there one day but it seems too good to be true.
thanks

I´s not a patch on Olaf´s surely. I had news that TeleAtlas, map provider for Tomtom, was working in Morocco.
A friend has just installed Morocco map on Igo 8. Both must be very similar as TeleAtlas provides Igo too. I´ll ask him.
Garmin and Compegps have an routeable morocco map too.

I have used Garmin Morocco Topo and it is very good, having nearly all of the tracks Olaf and many more beside.
Being routeable is also very handy in busy city's to find your way through, even more so when you are driving by yourself.
It's far from perfect and also I noted that a lot of the tracks were copies of Olaf even when the piste may of changed, so much so I would be amazed if Garmin had not used some of the data.

Yes, been using it for some weeks now.....together with a couple of those available in Morocco shops/supamarkets.......we rent them out!
Best way to discribe is that they are exactly the same in detail and layout as the Euro TomTom, in fact you just download the data......No good for off road of course......but to find your way around Fes, Marra, Rabat etc etc....a godsend.

I was not very impressed with the Garmin Morocco map and if I did it over again, would not get it.

I'm going to be using the TomTom map to get me out of the cities and then the Olaf map on a Garmin to help me out with the pistes.
