* ''Michelin'' Individual Country maps are not the best to use, they do not list the Services Area and lots of useful information are absent, the scale ratio is often not good enough.

== Paper maps =====Europe===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 was available for 7 euros at the New English Book Store in [[Amsterdam]], in June 2008.

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.
There is also the fast growing incredible free (like [[wikipedia:Free Software|Free Software]]) OpenStreetMap ([http://openstreetmap.org/ openstreetmap.org]) that is already very good for England and Germany and has at least some data on many places where other services don't have anything at all (like with Argentina on google...)! For [[South America]] you can use [http://www.br.map24.com / map24].
