PetrolMaps Wordsearch
Issuing Brands
The grid below forms a Wordsearch using 40 names of petrol and oil companies that have issued road maps in Europe. Names can run horizontally, vertically or even diagonally: they may be in the normal or reverse direction. All the brands selected have maps shown on this site and are at least four letters long.

One interesting feature about using a computer generated Wordsearch is that other names will almost inevitably creep in. As well as the 40 names specified above and so included in the "official" solution, I have found the Belgian hypermarket CORA that has issued branded maps. And AVIN of Greece is also in the table, although I have never seen a map from them...yet. There are possibly other names hidden (not to mention two or three lettered brands such as NAP) that I have yet to spot!
