Map books and guides for travelling

Advertisement

The European trip is fast approaching. In 24 days we'll be rolling towards a 1 year long adventure! We've just started thinking about which map books, camping lists and guidebooks we need in the campervan... and we'd love to hear your tips!

Road atlas

We have just acquired Our Atlas of Europe, from Akademibokhandeln. "But don't you have GPS?" some people ask. Yes, but GPS is based on knowing where you are going. The advantage of a road atlas is that you can sit and look at the maps in peace and quiet and think about possible routes and destinations....

Lists of pitches and campsites

When it comes to pitches and campsites, we have a Bordatlas that is several years old. We thought about getting a new one, but it is out of stock at Adlibris and Bokus. Maybe it's available at petrol stations in Germany? 

We used to have a CD with campsites from ACSI Eurocampings, but we seem to have lost it... We were thinking of ordering an ACSI camping card for 2015, but we read somewhere that it wouldn't arrive until December, and by then we will have left... Any suggestions on what to do?

Guidebooks and dictionaries

We have a guidebook to France and mini dictionaries in German and Spanish. We don't want to fill the car with books, but we're wondering if it would be good to have dictionaries in French and Italian as well? What we speak...? Actually, only English, but I've also studied French and Spanish at school, so I should be able to pick up a few phrases if the going gets tough...?
