Europe maps online
 

Any suggestions on where to roadmaps online for Switzerland and Austria?

Try euroshell.com <BR> <BR>When you enter the two cities you are travelling between, it gives you a map and kilometer by kilometer directions.

The website www.cwlease.com has become my standby because I had a lot of trouble with euroshell.com earlier this year. And www.mapquest.com can provide less focused (NOT route-oriented) maps that you can blow up to a level of detail not found in many atlases. <BR> <BR>But neither is a substitute for a good atlas. One of the main points of driving while traveling in europe can be to explore here and there, and the ability to look at a map that shows you a route you weren't planning to use is invaluable. <BR> <BR>EuroAtlas is a very good brand, as is the AAA Europe Road Atlas (sold in stores; I don't actually know if they sell them at AAA). You an also get a pretty good road map from the official tourist office(s) of practically any country - - see www.anto.com/meetanto.html for Austria; I can't find a comparable website for Switzerland though www.myswitzerland.com is supposed to be an equivalent. It doesn't seem to list the office locations outside CH (for example, NY, Chicago, Los Angeles). <BR> <BR>If you just want a nice map to put in a scrapbook (to plot out your trip or put on a website), the maps at the University of Texas are nice: <BR> <BR>http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/M...witzerland.jpg <BR> <BR>and <BR> <BR>http://www.lib.utexas.edu/Libs/PCL/M...pe/Austria.GIF <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex

Ah, I clicked send one minute too soon. the address/telephone number/etc for the Swiss National tourist office (in NYC) IS there: <BR> <BR>http://int.myswitzerland.com/en/cont...call_center=37

Euroshell.com did not respond, and so I tried the cwlease. It is superb.
