menthe Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Being one of those so-called dinosaurs who is not in possession of a smartphone, I normally use viamichelin to plot out my journeys. Even more dinosaur-like, I regularly have to drive to places in order to then take part in the very untechnical pursuit of walking. Tried to find an itinerary today and found from the viamichelin site that it is now necessary to open an account to access information. Happily, lots of other sites that will obligingly provide itineraries. Are there no organisations out there anymore who will provide a service without collecting personal data and targetting you with unwanted ads and trying to sell you stuff?

Judith Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Menthe, I have MAC and ipad etc, and thre is a map app on there which will produce itinieraries .. not alsways possibel to put much info in, start and finish, but it does provide 2 or three route options, with timings .. which have to be taken with some degree of salt, but it gives you a ball park timing at least. Maybe you have such an app on your computer?? Worth looking anyway, and there are still free apps for navigation, if you can put with adverts, which I just ignore. Bonne chance.

DaveLister Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I've always found the RAC route planner to be reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hectorsdad Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 We have used MAPPY while in France and it proved valuable when organising a complex route through France and into Spain. It did not ask for any personal information other than my email address and I don’t remember being annoyed by advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 We have navigated from the Artic circle to Croatia on HERE maps downloaded onto an Android phone. The biggest advantage for us, apart from no data share, adverts, cost etc is the ability to download maps onto your phone. This is a big plus if you have only a limited data plan or you are traveling in a country that your data plan does not work in. Its owned by Nokia amongst others.

Graham & Brenda Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 +1 for HERE. Good in the car and also for walking in unfamiliar towns. Biggest bonus is it works offline once you have downloaded the map for the country you are in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLister Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Interesting. Just looked up my address on HERE and it couldn't find it. The village went over to house numbers around 12 years ago with a couple of streets being renamed but HERE hasn't been updated. Maybe door to door isn't it's thing.
