Title: maps of arillas/corfu
Post by: neilelaine on June 08, 2007, 10:37:03 AM
Hi, this is my first post here, I have searched the site (which I must say is excellent) for information on maps, more specifically, are there any maps available of Corfu that are similar to a 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 scale UK ordnance survey map and are they available in the locality of Arillas? We will be visiting in mid July for the first time for two weeks and cant wait! Thanks, Neil.

Hello Neel,
Welcome to our forum,
I do not understand what exacly UK ordnance survey map means
If it is like a topografic map I htink I had found one in corfu town in a print shop where the architekts do their copies.
By the way a good friend of mine has just started presenting the very first Corfu Satelite Navigation system with ALL ( I do'nt believe it is possible):)  roads and streets of Corfu .
they have already a site but still under development.

Do all the roads in Corfu have names and/or numbers like in the UK, eg, M60, A666, Downing Street :) or is this only around the main towns?

Hi, We took Stephan,s map over with us in May and did a lot more travelling then normal, it was areal terrific help to us. We also took one over for Dimitris and he commited at the time that it was the best he had seen, and by the way a donation goes to the Agni animal shelter for each one he sell's. Well worth buying.

Stephan's map arrived with a 3 page explanation of its history, and also a little map of how to get to the donkey rescue.  How's that for service?
It came in the same post as my Arillas Addict vest top, and Colin is telling me "you've bought the tee shirt and you haven't even been there yet!"

We bought the Marengo map/walk guide as well - it was very good but we only did a couple of the walks as:
a) it was hot
b) couldn't be bothered, although the descriptions were excellent
c) it was hot
d) found it easier to sit and drink Mythos
e) too lazy!!!
BUT
will definitely take it with us again next time (soon!) we go to Arillas!

I also bought a copy of Stephans map and I was very impressed by the content and the speedy delivery. The detail of Corfu town was very useful especially for detail showing the one way systems.

I do have to say though that the best map of Corfu, by far, is the following:-

Published by: Road Editions  (http://www.mapsworldwide.com/itm_img/9789608481077b.jpg)

ISBN number: 9789608481077

Series: Road Editions Greek Islands

Layout: Folded Maps, Scale 1:70 000 

To make it east to use for the Arillas and Corfu areas, I scanned the map and then printed "zoomed" copies to take with me so that the detail was easier to read.

Here is an example of the map

I dont know how you do it... you are so clever with all this computer stuff.

We saw a couple on holiday with this map and it looked very good.  His story of how he came up with the idea and how long it took him was interesting.  I wished we had got one, but then we didnt intend to hire a car but it would be interesting for walking, at least you can read it properly.  A very good and clear map we thought.

Over the last few years I have aquired most of the maps & I still have troulble finding my way back to Arillas without a few detours..Mind we have seen some rare and wonderful sites..earlier this year we passed the same village four times and it was only when a group of locals sat outside a taverna waved to us on the final pass through that we stopped and asked the way home.You can guess none could speak English,so we just carried on and eventually followed a coach to
San Stephanos    ... .....mangaed to get back to Arillas from there.

Greetings and hi Everyone, just came across this great website today. I now live back in the UK, but during the 1990's I lived and worked in Nissaki in the north-east of the island.  I must say that Arillas was always one of my favourite places on the island, with its friendly, family atmosphere, beautiful beach and wonderful setting.  Its good to see it has it's own website! I enjoyed many days out  spent there, and saw some awesome sunsets.

One of the things that bugged me though was the scarcity of accurate maps.  Although I visted the area many times, I always got lost if I used the maps.  The junctions always seemed wrong and the roads just didn't seem right.  One could easily miss finding this gorgeous place.  It was one of the reasons why I eventually decided to make my own map.

Thank you all who mentioned the map which has proved extremely popular on-line.  I do sell it through the CTG forum and through Ebay.  Thank you too terryw, but that small section of the Road Editions map you  have kindly shown puzzles me a little bit.
 
I have been out of Corfu for a number of years now, but there do seem to be too many roads shown in the area.  I do understand that there have been quite a few improvements of previously unsurfaced tracks over recent years, but I must say I am very surprised at the extent of them in this small area if this map is correct.  Have you actually tried the Road Editions one out on the ground Terry?  I mean, are all those roads shown actually there? 

Stephan
Title: Re: maps of arillas/corfu
Post by: TerryW on July 25, 2007, 09:33:10 PM
Hi Mapman.

It was my first visit to Corfu so I did need some good maps. In my years of driving around Kefalonia I have learnt that one map was not good enough. I also found that the Road Edition Map for Kefalonia was very accurate. The maps are based on Greek military maps.

During my two weeks in Arillas I did a lot of driving and I did find the map very accurate. I didn't attempt any routes that were coloured whie (ie tracks) because my wife isn't always a happy passenger on narrow twisty roads with nasty drops.

I only got lost once, and that was on my journey from the Airport. I missed the left turn just after the Troupetta pass  and ended up in Roda. It was then very easy to follow the map from Roda to Arillas and also I got  the thrill of driving though Magoulades en route to Arillas

I do have to admit though, that on my first drive back to Arillas from Dafni I did find Eileens sign to Villa Linaka very useful. It was far more visible than the Arillas signpost.

In about 3 years time I guess we will all be able to use satnav anyway, even if its on our own  PDA in a hire car.

I must say Stephan that I am glad I bought your map and you should feel very proud that you have published a very good travel guide that was also very enjoyable to read.

Terry

    We rented a car for three days and relied on Stephan's map and managed to see a good part of the northern end of Corfu and only got lost once! That was due to me getting overconfident on the way back from Rohda and not looking at the map.
    I found all the roads as marked on the map were accurate and just picked various places to visit and followed the map, a bit like a mystery tour. I enjoyed driving along the more minor roads, I found most of them a bit wider than those I am used to on Anglesey and the Llyenn Peninsula when we visit Wales! Every twist and turn seems to reveal a new landscape and there seems to be no end of small bays easily accessable on foot.
    I dont think we would have visited half the places we did without the map and would reccomend it to anybody, well done Stephan!

Neil, Elaine and family.

Hi Neil, Elaine and Family.  I'm so glad that my map helped you find your way about.  As you say, it can be really enjoyable going along the minor roads, many of which are surprisingly well maintained and quiet too, with fantastic views. 
Being very interested in maps, especially Corfu, I collected all of the commercially available maps and compared them with mine.  Without exception, they all portrayed many, many roads that didn't exist, and many others that did exist were not shown.

They all seemed based on some common map from the past, (they all show the same wrong layout and "surplus" roads in the Arillas area, amongst others.) but differed in style and detail, which explains why so many drivers can be seen pulled over, scratching their heads as they look from the road to the map and back at the road again. 

This spurred me on to produce a really accurate one.  I actually checked out all of the roads and tracks either by car, motor scooter or cycle, so I was 100% sure they did exist.  (I also checked out many footpaths by foot, but admittedly there are sooooo many, that I couldn't possibly chart them all in a short time, besides which, they tend to come and go with usage, and other factors.) 

I used GPS to check the positions of all these roads, and found many discrepancies with the positions of the roads.  As you approach Arillas from the south east (the major route there from most destinations, including the airport) you go through Aspiotades and Dafni.  Shortly thereafter, you pass a couple of small roads that lead  to Armenades on the right, and then there is a T junction where you turn right for Kavadades, or left for Arillas and Afionas. a little further on there is  sharp right for Arillas, just following a left hand bend.  (If you keep on the Afionas road, there is a small road a short distance on that braches to the left, downwards towards Agios Georgios)

These were the junctions that always confused me with all the other maps.  Not only are their layouts depicted wrongly, but the apparent presence of nearby non-existent roads on these maps only compounded the problem.

Looking on the Road Editions map, there still seems to be that same problem.  I wonder how many other visitors to Arillas have encountered this, and can see what I mean? I'll have a go later at uploading a section of my map to try and illustrate the point.

Anyway, thanks Neil, Elaine and family for writing - it really is good to hear that you enjoyed yourself in this beautiful corner of Corfu.

Stephan

Post by: TerryW on July 26, 2007, 12:22:50 PM
People buy maps for different reasons. Some people just want to find a route from A to B such as from the Airport to Arillas, and some people want to explore and find things "off the beaten track". I would rather see  a map with every road or track detailed, and then I can decide if I want to walk or drive along it.

With all due respect Stephan, although your map is very good, there is no way that you could create a map that was really accurate, without having lots of resources available to you.

A good test of accuracy is to use the detailed part of Google Earth, on the North East coast of Corfu and then compare with various maps. I always use Google Earth when I am driving in the UK to an unknown destination, because it shows landmarks like school playing fields, Churches etc. It is a good way to check that the Sat Nav is working properly.

Post by: Mapman on July 26, 2007, 01:31:46 PM
Hi Terry, thanks for your comments again, glad to have a lively debate; I appreciate your point about resources - It took me over three years to single handedly cover the whole island, and the map was produced on a kitchen table using very primitive draughting materials (Pencils, pens and crayons - not a computer or satellite photo in sight), so I really got to know the island of Corfu quite intimitely - which is quite an advantage to actually being there on the ground.  The GPS at the time (In the mid 1990s) was still purposefully degraded by the Americans for "security reasons" and was on average, only accurate to about 200 meters, whereas today it will place you within about a meter.  That was why I took hundreds of readings averaged out over a few days to try and pinpoint important locations on the map, such as the positions of villages, and major road junctions. 

I'll admit that it is far from perfect, and in comparing my road layouts with those seen on the high resolution Google Earth pictures in the north east, the limitations of my GPS system do show up, but, and it really is a big but, the actual existence of the roads I show is confirmed, even if their actual positon is not as accurate as I hoped.  (I really look forward to Google Earth  coverage of the rest of Corfu as you no doubt do too)  I did conciously in fact somewhat exaggerate the curves and bends in relation to the scale of the map in order to give a more subjective feeling to the roads.  Looking at those satellite images, some of the roads are in fact much straighter than I had portrayed, but they certainly don't feel that way when you are driving along them, with hedgerows or sheer precipices to the sides. 

I can't compete with the big boys for resources, but resources don't always mean better - look at the Big names in maps, and their maps of the island are very sketchy and out-of-date, hence the public dissatisfaction with them.

I can see that we are probably going to have to agree to disagree on which is the best map (I certainly am biased towads mine, surprise, surprise), but you mention that you'd rather have a map that shows all
of the roads and tracks so that you can choose which to use yourself.  I am 100% in favour of that, but can you really,unequivocally state that all of the surfaced roads (even just in the Arillas area) shown on the Editions map do actually exist?  A far as I can see, even accounting for unsurfaced roads that have been tarmaced in the intervening years, there are still a few extra ones on the Editions, and the junction layouts seem far from correct. (Hence, perhaps why you initially ended up in Roda.)

I'm not looking for an argument in this, but would genuinely like to resolve this issue about "ghost" roads and the quality of Corfu maps in general.  There certainly are many differences between the Editions map and mine even in the relatively small area around Arillas.  From hundreds of reports I have received from people who have explored this area using my map who found their way about without any problems, I can't understand how I have "missed" all those other roads. 

Of course, ultimately, everyone will have their favourite maps, and it depends on how thoroughly you like to explore, but I shall upload a section from my map so that people can compare and make up their own minds.  It would be really good to get some feedback here from people who know the area intimately.

PS Google Earth at present only show a small area touching North east Corfu and the Kanoni peninsula.  The detail though is fantastic.  I really look forward to seeing coverage of the rest of the island, hopefully it won't be too long, so I can explore Corfu all over again, from the comfort of home, at any time.

The Detail of Arillas on Google Earth is only low definition ATM.

If you move over to the North East coast of Corfu. on Google Earth, you will see that it shows a lot more detail and you can even see swimming pools and houses. Google Earth is updated regularly so hopefully Arillas will be be shown with the same detail in a few months time.

If you use a program like "Snagit" (www.snagit.com) you can capture screen images as shown below.

Hi Kes, and I bet if you compare those maps, you'll see that they all make the same mistakes in that area (with the exception of mine, of course).   I've no doubt mine has a few mistakes, but at least they'll be different!  Anyway I hope you have a great time exploring and discovering Corfu and I look forward to hearing how you get on.  (On that other forum, my map seems especially popular with lady navigators who never knew they could navigate before, so I hope your wife finds it straightforward too.)
Good luck and best wishes,

"I do not understand what exacly UK ordnance survey map means"

Dimitri, these Ordnance Surveys survey maps are very detailed maps commissioned by HM Government.  Some were in fact made of Corfu in the 18th Century by the british army, but I've only seen snippets, and they were very faded.  To give you an idea of what they are, I'll upload a small section of one from the area where I live near Nottingham.

Regarding Satellite Navigation around Greece, and Corfu in general, a Greek company has produced the software that is compatible with certain types of GPS.  The mapping, although not perfect is pretty good when compared with other commercial mapping.   You can see it for yourself here:

You could do it Viv, and don't waste your money on a course. If there is anything you want to know just ask. Also, make sure you use search engines like Google to get answers to your problems. Type something like " Message board forum how to upload photos to a post". Try it and see what is found.

Another valuable source for information about message boards can be found at .... http://www.simplemachines.org/community/.

Simple machines or SMF ( see bottom of every page on this forum) developed the software that is used by this forum.

I honestly think that most computer courses are a waste of money. The best way to learn is just have a go and be "brave". I  don't mind trying to help with anything you want to do.

Yes Viv, as Terry says, you don't need to attend a special course to be able to upload stuff like the maps and things here.  Perhaps the most technical bit is learning how to use those boxes that specify where a certain file is on your computer - no more complicated than that.  The rest is just following some straightforward instructions.
After you've managed it once, you'll think it's a doddle honestly.

I think it is just a temporary problem with http://www.simplemachines.org/community/. It was OK yesterday.

I did a trace route, which looked OK until the connection to the Simple Machines Server.

Try again later on.

Hi

Don't seem to be able to get onto the site to get a map from mapman (if he's still around). Can someone give us ideas where else we might get a decent map of Arillas and surrounding areas for walking etc.

Thanks

Hi,

You can purchase Mapman's Corfu Map here.... http://www.agni-animal-welfare-fund.com/Maps.asp

or

I also recommend Lance Chilten's excellent guidebook and map for North West Corfu which you can find here... http://www.marengowalks.com/Corfu_bk.html

Read about his 2004 guided walk in and around Arillas... http://www.marengowalks.com/corfu_report.html

Incidently Lance has a series of guided walks available in September '08, details can be found here... http://www.marengowalks.com/Corfu_gw.html

I was Googling for something called the Kaiser’s Throne today because I saw an impressive photograph of it here http://www.rediscover.co.uk/Images/Corfu/corfu_kaiserw.jpg

On the same website I found a very good map of Corfu

http://www.rediscover.co.uk/corfu_map_large.htm

I haven't created a link to display the map and photograph on the forum, in case copyright laws are infringed.

How many members have been to the Kaiser’s Throne, and what is it like? I had never heard of it till today, but its another item on this years itinerary.
