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 stations, service areas, toll gates and other important places on the motorways.

Paper maps

For Western, Northern and Southern Europe: 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!
