Has anyone tried touring using just a european road map with pages you might need torn out. Or is there some sort of cycling specific version of this available?
I did that, work well in the past, but using Google Maps and their Streetview before embarking on a tour is a much better way of finding a great route before you go.

I will be doing some touring but without specific destinations, I quite like the idea of just pootling along and stopping for lunch to look at the map and see what looks nice etc, maybe google a few things nearby.
Part of me just wants to follow a compass and my nose, with a map as back up. But I don't really want to end up on shitty roads regularly or cursing my romanticism when I end up in shitty places...
I haven't used a garmin before, mainly used my phone with google maps etc in the past in the uk when riding or touring, and would have this as a backup.
