Cross country navigation with Mapopolis

[Guest Dr_StrangeTrick]

I have family that live in Italy and I was wondering if I could use Mapopolis to calculate a complete route from England to Italy. I have used Mapopolis in Italy and it works fine (except it pronounces the road names with an American twang) but I have never crossed the borders with it.

Guess what, it worked. I loaded the West Midlands, Major Roads, Calais map, Menton map, France Major roads, and Liguria from Italy and off it went, from Birmingham to Bordighera in one go and it took less than 15 seconds to calculate.

Although I think that it would take a lot longer than 16 hours to drive but it did it and hats off to Mapopolis.
