I can't see been checked for that, but it's probably one of the things I'd take anyhow.Quote:

I dont see why anyone would ever need a map ever again if they have GPS. It's fantastic
name me one that covers all of poland, all of slovakia and all of latvia.Quote:

i looked into that exact product when planning my roadtrip, and its simply not up to the task. besides. maps are fun :)
8 people in 2 hatchbacks (i assume) for any period of time is gonna be hellish. Take this into account when youre buying your car, you want something with cruise control, comfy seats and an engine that isnt screaming away at 4k at motorway speeds, i.e, not a base model 1.1/1.2
I plan to get a 1.6 BMW.Quote:
