Paris, France
Looks like work has me over there for a week or so in late May/early June. With hopefully a weekend thrown in.
Now apart from the cache event there the weekend before if the timing is right, does anyone know where I can get an Ozi compatible map of Paris to print out the caches on before I head over there?

I was going to post the question there as well, just need to apologise for any mess babelfish or whatever makes of the translation. My school French is 25 years out of date <p>I do have an Atlas I can probably scan and reference (will check it over the weekend)Snuva wrote:Maybe have a play at Geocaching en France? email one of the local cachers?

Re: Paris, France
We just returned from Paris today, having found 29 caches in Paris and Burgundy. Most in Paris are quite difficult to find with the buildings making the gpsr readings all over the place. Its very necessary to understand the hints in many cases, so do the translation on Google before you go looking or look up the Spoilers. Many are off by about 9m, but the GZ wanders widely from one side of the street to the other. There are some great ones in gardens such as around the Louvre which are easier to find due to the lack of buildings immediately beside them. Most are in small containers such as film canisters.
Re: Paris, France
why are you wanting a paper map for? can't you load Paris OSM on your GPS?
or if you have a android/smart phone you can cache maps offline and use Locus or one of the other apps to cache with.
but if you want paper try using the GSAK macro to export google map and then print that out.
