The Finn estimated an Indian national street directory would have
10,000 pages for 3.3 million km2. Presumably, Germany being about a
tenth of the size, it has about 1000 pages?

I was talking about road atlases being accurate enough for inter city road
navigation. 1:200.000 are pretty good. All Nordic countries are projected by
such maps (supposedly Denmark is very easy in this respect). For instance I
have a Michelin copy in scale 1:200.000 covering all of France (around
550.000 square kilometres). It is rather thick....... I have seen Germany
being projected in scale 1:130.000. Austria and Switzerland as well. Finland
is covered by maps in scale 1:20.000. The main target isn't the motorists.
It could be a bit clumsy and expensive to use them. They come in about 4000
sheets........
