Am looking to see if there are any alternative maps for France.
I have the relevant Michelin local maps for the area - Anncey/Aix le Bains but wondered if there were any other recomendations?
thanks
IGN. Bit more like OS
Yep IGN are excellent.
[url= http://www.stanfords.co.uk/Countries/France.htm ]Stanford's[/url] will have a wide variety of different types, so have a look.
Cheers.
Salut! even.
Je vous en prie!
Garmin and basecamp
Our gps lets us download all the maps to the computer for planning purposes....
@surrounded have a look at geoportal.gouv.fr - you can have a look at IGN maps. They are pretty good and the French equivalent of OS
paper based - IGN all the way.
Can you get to the IGN maps online with apps like Maverick & BackCountry ?
On the phone/tablet using Maverick I use OpenCycleMap.
IGN has a very good website where you can buy with a Visa card. While on there, have a look at their absolutely stunning 1:10,000 historic maps of Alpine summits, well worth buying and framing as they are quite beautiful.
Got a link for the historic maps globalti? Their main site is a bit too conspicuous to spend too long searching at work!
Wasn't easy to find as IGN have increased their product range massively since I bought them.
Here is the page for the maps: http://loisirs.ign.fr/catalogsearch/result/index/?ign_serie=1133&q=massif+du+mont+blanc++ET+DU+BEAUFORTAIN1%2F50000
Here's the Aiguille du Midi: http://loisirs.ign.fr/carte-ancienne-aiguille-du-midi.html
They look fantastic framed in a nice old wood frame.
thanks Guys, but those maps are no good, I don't speak French 😆
Thanks globalti!
Although it seems they don't have Mont Chaberton 🙁
