My wife is from Italy, so I printed out a topo of the valley where she grew up. It took me a long time to figure out how to change to the European projection in the software I was using, and I didn’t write down how I did it; unfortunately I’m not sure I can figure out it again! There’s a digital elevation TIFF of the whole EU available online, even Czechia! If you want to make it a project, I can point you in the right direction and give you some pointers on converting to a obj file to print. I found a couple websites that went through the process, but I didn’t find their directions very complete and had to figure a lot out myself.

I got addicted to converting USGS and European digital elevation data to 3d topo map prints; I just think they’re neat!

SAY OUR NAME, SAY OUR NAME!

It is very good.

I had no idea this existed, thank you so much!

That’s a good idea. I should do that. Also, thanks for being someone who understands wanting to search stuff while in the turn by turn mode. It’s hard to explain WHY I would need this, but it seems like something I experience at least once a week.

I think we agree on that point, as I started.

Well, unfortunately I don’t have wireless AA, so the cable can sometimes be an issue. Beyond that, they aren’t huge issues, but if I need to look something up in maps it won’t let me. I know, I’m not supposed to use while driving, but if I’m at a light and I want to do a quick detour search I can’t use the handheld (dash interface isn’t as easy to use as handheld). The contact search\phone app doesn’t work as easily for me and I find the voice search to be spotty.

Like I said not big issues, but mostly just preference; I’d rather have my phone separate and free from restriction as I only use the maps through AA. My phone calls and audiobooks\podcasts we’re always fine through Bluetooth.

I’m not sure a lot of you are reading that they are replacing ACP and AA with built in Google apps, including Google maps for navigation; they aren’t eliminating the functionality, they are replacing it.

I think I would prefer this over slaving my phone to the car because there are some real annoying things about AA when I try to use it while connected to my car. The only big question is: do they require separate Internet connection or can I use my unlimited data plan phone as a hotspot. Having to pay for more connection services would piss me off, however I read somewhere a few weeks back that connecting to the Internet via a hotspot was supported.
