[QUOTE] Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Paul Corfield <[email][/email]> typed [QUOTE] Having researched the route there are only about 5 or 6 road numbers that you have to remember in France and none of those are the Autoroute.[/QUOTE] <opens and closes mouth goldfish-stylee> [QUOTE][QUOTE] [3] Not recommended if you have to cross any high bridges. Otherwise, pretty reliable. It even finds convenient petrol stations.[/QUOTE] I think you mean "we found the only petrol station that was still open at that time of day in the middle of bloody nowhere".[/QUOTE] We did. And I'm still not sure how you did it.[/QUOTE] I followed the signs. To be fair to the French they seem to put up signs saying where the nearest petrol stations are - especially in more rural areas. IMO this is because they recognise that they do not have a dense network of such stations and thus need to provide extra info to guide people to them and reduce the risk of people being marooned due to running out of petrol. I could, of course, be talking bollocks.
