Ireland
I'll be in Ireland within the next month or so, and plan to do some stumbling while there.
Question - What resources are there for good maps of Dublin / Kildare counties? I have MS AutoRoute 2003, but there are virtually no road details once you get outside M50. Any help is much appreciated!

The best program I have seen for EU is called Route66
You can get the program/maps for a certain region (Very detailed) or you can get the Europe 2003 Professional Ver. (Also very detailed). Links: Main Site: www.route66.nl Europe 2003 Pro - http://www.66.com/route66/products.p...d=1&prodid=102 England 2003 - http://www.66.com/route66/products.p...d=1&prodid=133 After checking the site, the only version that covers IE is the 2003 Professional version... |

Thanks, Madhatter - I'll look into that one too. AutoRoute seems pretty thin once you get outside major cities. I was able to find our office in Dresden, but not Puchheim. The streets fade out to nothing...
However, the Route66 web site shows this for coverage:  It seems there aren't many soft maps available for IE. If all else fails, I may have to buy a paper map through OSi.

If you do find a soft map of IE, please post the info here. I'll need one soon.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll give them a call, but here is the coverage map they show:
 I still don't see Ireland on it.

I was referred to a pretty good online source for maps: www.maporama.com
It will show pretty good street-level maps that can be exported to PDA. I'll have to try it out with GpsDrive

Re: Re: Ireland
Unfortunately, I don't think I can get away with just heading E-NE and eventually finding my way to Leixlip & Maynooth.
 Besides - how am I supposed to find the public golf courses?
