Hello,

While technology has definitely helped us navigate ourselves more easily in most countries, it's not the case everywhere.

How do you get to your destinations and navigate yourself in Morocco? Do you use gps systems such as google/apple maps?

Are the gps navigational systems updated enough that they provide accurate information and directions?

Is it enough to simply follow road signs in Morocco?

Is talking to locals and asking them directions the best way to get around? Are they generally friendly and helpful?

Are there any online resources or other types of resources to help you better understand the road systems, transportation, etc., in order to find your bearings?

What are the steps to take if you get lost?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

Hey Priscilla,

Both gps and road signs will help you get to the accurate information about you destinations in Morocco. However, in some areas, especially rural ones, the only way that will help you is to ask people who are usually friendly and helpful especially if you talk to them in Darija because not a lot of Moroccan can understand English.

Best of luck!
