Route 66 Route Europe 2007 (Mac) Description:
Route 66 Route Europe 2007 (Mac) review: 3 stars (Useful with a GPS, but not as accurate as one would expect...) - In our recent trip to Portugal, I took my Powerbook, a USB GPS and the Route 66 Europe 2007 software. Portugal seems to be one of the least mapped countries of the EU, but Route 66 did have all the main roads - albeit slightly outdated - in it.
It helped to see our location on the map and even when we weren't able to follow the particular route the software plotted, we could tell we were in the general right direction. The GPS is a must!
But, at least in Portugal, when you stray from the main cities, you are basically on your own. And in the main cities, things have changed so much from the maps in the package (I write this on Summer 2007) that you could easily spend a good chunk of time on a road just to realize you were really driving on a bridge over where you were supposed to be.
So, for Portugal (only place I tested it), useful - yes, very much so. Definitive guide - no.
