Customer Reviews
Useful for choosing a route - Rated I found both the Cycle Europe maps very handy for showing some of the more popular cycle routes. Laid out on a table at home you can consider options for a holiday. Information about transport and cycling contacts is provided. Having chosen your route, a more detailed map to ride with is needed, and there are plenty available. In summary: not a map to ride with, but very handy to choose a holiday with in the planning stages. No Use Whatever - Rated No use as a cycling map at all. Contains a few panels of text listing tourist information and photos of people cyclig. The 'maps' are nothing more than large scale drawings of the country with a few crude lines showing major rivers and cities. I wish I had read the other reviewers comments before wasteing my money. Good points and Bad points - Rated I was delighted to find this map, which summarizes some excellent and well-signposted routes. The map is printed in rugged paper, and comes in a neat protective plastic sleeve. However, it does have one major drawback. I am used to British OS maps, Michelin maps (200K scale), and Swiss maps, which are printed to a high standard of detail and are utterly reliable. Each town shows enough deatil to navigate through, though these maps do not show cycle paths. The Cycle Europe Map is at 400K scale, and I accept that it cannot show the same level of detail, but it is unbearably crude, with tracks made up of typically 5, 10, or 20mm straight lines. In particular, the LF5 from Dendermonde to Gent is shown as SOUTH of the River Schelde, whereas the true path is on the NORTH side. Fortunately, by the time I reached this point, I had purchased a guide to the LF5 which printed excellent 50K scale maps. If you need to pick up the route somewhere, you need a better level of accuracy than this. Cycle Europe Map is great for planning, but it is not much use on the road. Can even give it 1 star? - Rated To be a road map shouldn't it display roads? Absolute waste of time Useless - Rated I was very disapointed with this map. Took one look at and never looked at it again.
