YakDiver Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Hi Help please, on Mapsource Europe does it show all the roads for the Channel Islands Thank you Tony Quote
+Eckington Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 .....on my Roads and Recreaton they are pretty sketchy indeed , in fact less than basic is probably more correct ! Quote
+Naefearjustbeer Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 On metroguide V6 the maps are very poor for the channel Islands. Just a few dots for towns and a few straight lines drawn between some of them for roads. Looks like the sort of standard of maps that a gps basemap might contain. Quote
+Belplasca Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 The Magellan Mapsend Europe Streets doesn't show anything on the Channel Islands, but the new Mapsend DirectRoute seems to have very detailed street maps for Guernsey and Jersey but not much on the other islands... Of course, you can't use this with a Garmin, but I just thought I'd mention it! Bob Aldridge Quote

Just a few dots for towns and a few straight lines drawn between some of them for roads. Your Metroguide V6 must be a superior edition to my impoverished native Metroguide V6. It just shows the words "Jersey" and "Gurnsey" in wee letters. T'other three islands don't even get a namecheck. Not to worry, though - there's always Fugawi Europe Mapping. That must be better than Garmin's effort, mustn't it? Let's have a look at the Channel Islands, then. Oh, dear... They appear to have sunk. Quote
YakDiver Posted September 14, 2004 Author Posted September 14, 2004 Many thank so it looks like "back to paper maps again" Quote
SlytherinAlex Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Garmin's World map for Mapsource has a few roads on Jersey but very little for Guernsey. Quote

They appear to have sunk. zoom right in on guernsey then click ctrl+G this turns the gps map detail on and off and then you get to see a little bit more detail, not much though Quote
