Guest JudgeMental Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 pretty good set of articles on travelling europe wide in 2013 on Promobil website. The one on tolls interesting, giving 3 routes and cost for transversing various popular holiday destinations. they have some free apps as well for motorhome parking etc... Obviously from a german perspective, but still very handy tips like crossing Austria without go box .routes to Croatia, Sweden, plus drunk cycling (Oop's!) etc....etc.... :-D http://tinyurl.com/ph33ja3 You need to click on "Holiday 2013" on top bar...

johnnerontheroad Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Judge do you think the UK will ever get a magazine with articles and info like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennyhb Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 They write the mag for their readers the UK mag are too afraid of offending their advertisers. Shame it's not available in digital no good on paper as I can't read German. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JudgeMental Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I only posted it because i thought then 2013 travel content very useful....Plus the free android/iphone parking downloads. Yes Bruce...I use google chrome and it automatically translates. I even joined the German e bike forum as they discuss the kind of high spec e bikes that interest me, and I kind of manage OK on there. I started out posting using auto translation but a moderator contacted me and said best post in English as many germans understand it...so far it works OK'ish when looking for a new van I always look at this other magazine as well. you can buy in depth review for 80 cents..it is a download PDF file, but you can translate it in chunks..bit of a pain but the info worth the effort http://tinyurl.com/nqmrgp5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of online translators available but the Google one does seem to be the best, don't need to use Chrome there is an add on for Firefox. Also worth bookmarking the google translator page as its useful for copying and pasting PDF's to translate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Just discovered there is a digital version, using the wife's ipad at the moment when I went to the Pro Mobile site gave the option to download an app, via the app digital copies of the mag are £2.49 each. Doesn't say what the format is probably PDF which would be a pain to copy and paste every page maybe there is an applet that will do it, may have to risk £2.49 to try it.
