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 Western Europe and a few other countries it is very important to have a map that shows [[petrol station hitchhiking|petrol stations]], service areas, toll gates and other important places on the motorways. A map with a scale of 1:250.000 will still allow you to recognize enough details to walk somewhere if you get lost.
You want to know were you are going. It also helps if petrol stations are marked, and you don't need city maps. Try and find a map that you don't have to open out to one large sheet of paper every time you want to use it; you will be using it often. Book-style maps are best.
