Route planner for Austria - these tools are suitable
A route planner is recommended so that you can easily travel through Austria's cities, towns and mountains. On the Internet you will find an unmanageable range of navigators for the Alpine region - some better qualified, others less qualified. In order not to have to dig through all the pages on the web, we have selected some of the best route planners for Austria here. Everyone has their advantages and disadvantages - with these tools you are equipped for every route.
The classic route planner: Google Maps
The internet giant's navigation page has proven itself for a long time. Google Maps scores with the exact map or satellite view and the good route guidance. The paths are also provided for pedestrians and cyclists - unfortunately this service is still in the beta phase and is not yet fully developed.
Always informed about the traffic situation: Verkehrsinfo.at
This navigation page combines the detailed maps from Google Maps with the current traffic information from the Austrian automobile club ÖAMTC. You can see immediately whether there is a construction site or a traffic jam on your route and can choose an alternative route. Verkehrsinfo.at also shows you where your speed is measured. Traffic cameras can also be shown.
The guide to well thought-out routes: ViaMichelin
You can use this tool to precisely specify your route wishes - whether you are traveling by car, motorcycle, bike or on foot. If you want to see a lot of the cultural landscape, for example, you only have to tick "Interesting route" - the route planner avoids the motorway and instead sends you through the most beautiful areas in Austria.
