equipment bike maps missed


 

The maps I used did really satisfy me. I found my way everytime and had no difficulties. But there were some exceptions. In the following I will discribe every map.

 

 

This is a very good map. It is not very large but the bike lane called "Donau-Radweg" is very detailed. The scale is appropiate. There are some tourist informations too. I had no difficulties.
This map is the continuation of the first one. And it is as good as the first one too.
This map I bought in Hainburg. But this was a mistake. Although it has a good scale it is not very detailed and difficult to read.
After Budapest I couldn't get any trail or cycle map. I had to use general road maps. This map is very good but the scale is bigger and certainly it isn't as detailed as a trail or cycle map.
The farer I came to the east the more difficulties I had to get detailed maps. The scale of this one is very big using it for a bike tour. But I found my way everytime. You should use only frontier crossings drawn in the map. According to the political situation you shouldn't use minor roads.
This map led me safely through Romania although the scale is big. But due to the fact that there are not many cars in Romania it is no problem to use major roads.

But in the delta of the Danube this map fails. It contains roads that really don't exist. You should buy an extra one in Tulcea.
