I was reading an article recently (unfortunately I can't remember where right now) saying that using Sat Navs in the mountains can be dodgy as the maps aren't always up to date and they won't tell you eg if a particular pass has been closed due to snow etc!

Aye, cos a paper map covers that one for you :rollin

Also don't forget that, in France, it's illegal to have Speed Camera warnings operating (although you can have warnings of speed camera zones).

I think the term there is danger zones, not camera zones?

He does have a point though. I take it there'll be places where you can check for mountain weather forecasts and current pass status before heading fruitlessly up one road or another?
