Maps
,no edit summary
'''Maps''' are essential to hitchhiking. Make sure you always have a good map with you, the scale should at least be 1:700.000.
In many countries it is very important to have a map that shows [[gas stationsstation]]s, service areas, toll gates and other important places on the motorways.
==Paper maps==
For Western, Northern and Southern Europe: ''one specific edition'' of the Marco Polo car map of [[Europe]] is great, it doesn't contain too much useless stuff like indices or city maps, and shows gas stations on highways! Unfortunately [[User:guaka|guaka]]<small><sup>[http://guaka.org site], [[user talk:guaka|wikitalk]]</sup></small> only found this one in [[Slovakia]].
"Philip's compact atlas Europe" shows service stations in some countries, is pretty compact and can be had for 7 euros at the New English Book Store in [[Amsterdam]].
==Online maps==
For many countries in the world, there are very good maps at [http://maps.google.com Google]. You can also use [http://www.liftershalte.info/ Liftershalte.info], which is basically the same, except that it shows hitchhiking places.
