* The ''Shell Euroatlas'' is good for [[Europe]], however, it's difficult to find.
* The ''Falk Länderkarte'' series (in German, but can be understood by everyone) is brilliant for individual European countries, with a useful, clever and compact fold-out page system. It is easy to find but only inside of [[Germany]] and neighbouring countries. The ''Falk Reiseatlas Europa 1 : 800 000 / 1: 4 500 000'' (ISBN 9783827904348978-3-8279-0434-8) covers the whole Europe for a low price and includes the petrol stations.* The maps by ''Marco Polo'' are excellent for Europe. The 1:800,000 ratio version is the best (the name of this map changes in different countries). It is printed in [[Germany]] but is available across the continent. Pay attention, the 1:2.000.000 version (ISBN 9783829737043978-3-8297-3704-3) has no petrol/service stations marked!<br/>There is an italian version of this map edit by Studio F.M.B Bologna and the 1:2.000.000 version has the same problem (ISBN 9788877752321978-88-7775-232-1).
* In Scandinavia (especially Finland) - the ''Esso'' country maps are great, but unfortunately ''these are no longer available'' in [[Finland]] as Esso has fled the country.
* For the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Ireland]] AA maps are good but can get a bit too large.
* The Berlitz Europe atlas includes petrol stations and has a ratio of 1:800 000, though many important cities are in the crease of the book and are difficult to read (e.g., Paris, Berlin, etc.).
* France: "Grands Itinéraires" by Michelin. 1:1,000,000, but featuring all the ''autoroutes'', service areas and [[Péage]]s plus lots of other roads. You should be able to buy it in most service areas for about EUR 5.50 (July 2009)
* Another good map is the 1:1.250.000 Atlante Stradale Europa edited by Istituto Geografico De Agostini (ISBN 885110968088-511-0968-0). It has petrol/service stations marked and it's really small and handy! just a little bit bigger than a lonely planet guide. It's sold in italian book shops but can be found on amazon as well.
It's recommended you have a map that is at least 1:1,000,000 ratio. 1:750,000 is usually good enough.
