We are thinking of going to Italy next year and so I looked at the Vicarious books site with a view to buying a Sosta guide. There are two on offer, does anyone have an opinion on which is best?
Also it occurs to me that the books may be reissued annually as with the Bord Atlas, in which case it may be worth waiting a bit. Is this the case?
We bought the Guida Camper a few years ago and found it very handy both as a sosta guide and it also doubled up as a good map.
The trouble is it hasn't been updated since 2007 and I don't think there are any current plans to do so in the future.
Sorry, can't comment on the other book.
I found the POI's very helpful from the Turismo Itinerante website if that helps.
Also, I haven't looked recently but I think there are quite a few sosta's in the Bordatlas euro edition as well, the 2012 edition should be out about now.
I've used them over the past years for mainland Italy down as far as Ancona and on Sardinia and they've been fine. There might have been a few duff ones but you'll always get that.
It found me one in the middle of Firenze that didn't have any signs and there was no way you would have found it or knew it was there without POI's.
As a post-script to this thread, we have just returned from Italy. The book that proved most useful was the Bord Atlas, (non Germany section).
The Guida Camper is comprehensive, with lots of sites, but few of them have GPS lat/long co-ordinates. Eventually it was discarded in favour of the Bord Atlas. I also used internet resources on the few occasions when I had wifi.
We much enjoyed our trip to Italy, but will go later in the year next time.
