Re: Garmin Zumo 660 Map Updates

Re: What have you got planned for 2016?

Re: What have you got planned for 2016?

Two of us will be riding back from Garmische on the Monday following the BMW Rally and hoping to get a mid morning Channel Tunnel  crossing on Wednesday so that'll be two nights out.
Any route and accomodation suggestions would be welcome.
