Planning on driving to Italy (Bardi area) - advice 14:25 - Jun 13 with 886 viewsunbelievablue

Any advice, really, for the trip, would be great, though I have specific questions below. From Calais it's approx. 1200km. Looking at the route through France (past Lyon, Chamonix, Mt Blanc tunnel etc.).

- Navigation: Waze, or Google Maps? Will be hooking up the phone via the cig lighter rather than buying a Sat Nav

If driving in the summer, not time bound and you enjoy driving, head to Baden Baden and pick up the B500. Can do quite a few mountain passes on way, Grossglocker, Stelvio, Furker, De Gia, De Gavia...all awesome.

Overnight in Cochem, Titisee and Davos. Arrange a mortgage for Swiss hotel, beers.

Enjoy.

I think we're going to maximise time at the house near Bardi on this occasion to be honest, in order to keep costs lower.

But thanks for that - good to know for future trips!

I've used Waze when driving abroad and like in the UK it is far and away the best thing for it.

Just need to check what your roaming charges are because some carriers allow UK data to be used as is, whereas others don't since Brexit and it can tot up really quickly. I'm O2 and pay nothing extra for EU roaming

Interestingly I now pay roaming charges on O2 as a continued use scenario, but it’s not much £2 a month, for my use here in Madeira.

Leaving on Sunday afternoon. I must admit I am excited to undertake the drive, scenery looks great. Thanks all for advice.

Have gone with Waze and bought a 20gb sim card for an old iPhone to use for navigation.
