a road map of the country might be worth it (you would need 3 perhaps four) to get the rough route, which i'm guessing you know, and a compass. I know it sounds stupid and archaic, but it gets you between town and town. If your not on a strict timetable, then thats a really stress free way of doing it, you end up taking guesses on routes, following instincts (and road signs!) and in my experience you see more of the country and people etc - which is the ultimate goal of bicycle touring as opposed to road racing.
