Egypt: Cairo & Nile Delta
Ordinær pris 199,00 krCairo is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world (as is Egypt as a country, which we map separately). Side 1 focuses on the city itself, with insets of Alexandria, the pyramids of Gizi, and the region immediately surrounding Cairo. The city has also expanded its rapid transit Metro system, which is shown on the back cover. An extension to the airport should open next year. The second side of the map sheet shows the delta of the Nile River, which is a gigantic flood plain, and follows the course of the river south past Cairo all the way past Luxor. Much of the Red Sea is included, as is most of the Sinai Peninsula. The famous canal is, of course, shown in detail.
This map is designed for the visitor concentrating on the most popular aspects of a trip to ancient Egypt. The map also has two Top Attraction lists, one for the city and one for the region, to make it easy for users to locate such sites as the Temple of Horus or the must-see new Museum of Egypt.
Belgium: Ghent; Brussels & Flanders
Ordinær pris 199,00 krGhent is one of the most historic cities in Europe. A city of canals, it became wealthy during the Middle Ages by controlling the production of cloth over several centuries. It is full of historic buildings and desperately needs a map or one becomes lost in the narrow streets that fill the ancient city centre. However, Ghent is not all that big so we have combined it with a detailed map of Brussels, the nominal capital of Belgium and the location of the European Union HQ. It was also the site of the famous world fair in 1968, the legacy of which is the Giant Atomium.
Side 2 of the map is also a new venture for us; a detailed map of Flanders region from Liege to Lille and from south of Brussels to north of Antwerp. This portion of both France and Belgium is full of historical importance and we hope to develop this artwork in future editions. For now, it is a detailed road map showing many fortresses/castles and monuments.
Spain
Ordinær pris 199,00 krSpain is an ancient land full of historic sites dating from Roman times or the Moorish occupation. As a country, it divides naturally into northeastern Catalonia, northwestern Galicia, Central Toledo, and the Mediterranean coastal regions. This map is double-sided, with the portion closer to Portugal on one side and the Mediterranean coast from the French border to Granada on the other side. Spain has invested heavily in road improvements since joining the EU and has enthusiastically embraced rail line improvements in line with the EU’s efforts to wean travellers away from automobiles. This map emphasizes the railway network. The map also includes inset maps for the Canary Islands and the Balearics in the Mediterranean.
Spain: Balearics - Mallorca; Ibiza & Menorca
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThe Balearic Islands in the western Mediterranean have been extremely popular travel destinations for centuries. Mallorca/Majorca and Ibiza have become favoured visits by cruise ships to these islands in recent years, but the warm climate has attracted visitors for a long time. Side 1 concentrates on the three major islands of Mallorca, Ibiza, and Menorca but includes the smaller islands of Formentera and Cabrera, along with an inset map showing the islands in relation to the Spanish mainland ports of Valencia and Barcelona. Side 2 focusses on cruising the entire western half of the Mediterranean, from Naples west to Gibraltar. Naturally, the Balearics end up right in the centre of the map, which also includes the islands of Corsica and Sardinia, both of which are becoming increasingly popular with those cruising. I hasten to add that cruising is the fastest growing segment of the entire travel industry, so is an important market for the mapping industry.
Lithuania & Latvia
Ordinær pris 199,00 krOur first-ever map of the Baltic country of Lithuania, which occupies Side 1 of this double-sided map. It is bordered by Latvia on its north, the Russian enclave of Kalingrad on its southeast, and Poland and Belarus on its south and east. It is now on the front lines of tension between Russia and its neighbours, as are all the Baltic states. It is also a valued member of both NATO and the EU, and as such is easy to access from either Poland or Latvia. Lithuania fronts on to the Baltic Sea with a major port at Klaipeda (formerly Memel), with its capital being Vilnius.
Historically, the country has suffered German and Russian invasions during the 20th century, the last of which resulted in the country losing its independence completely by being absorbed into the Russian Empire in the latter stages of WW2. It regained its independence in 1991, with the collapse of the USSR and shortly thereafter applied to join both the European Union and NATO. Touristically, the main attractions are shown in our Top Attractions listing. Culturally, it is closely associated with Scandinavia, especially Finland, and maintains cordial relations with Latvia and Poland. The current war in Ukraine has created difficulties entering either Russia or Belarus.
Side 2 of the map is an updated map of Latvia, with a detailed inset of its capital Riga. This Baltic country is bounded by Lithuania to the south, Estonia to the north, and Russia to the east. As all the Baltic states are members of the EU, access by air, ferry, and land are easy. Historic Riga is the main attraction of Latvia, but the region around Cesis has several significant sites of touristic interest, and the cathedral at Rezekne, in the east, is well-worth a visit.
South Pacific: Cook Islands & East Pacific Cruising
Ordinær pris 179,00 krThis is a combination map, focused on two travel realities. Side 1 is a detailed map of the main islands making up the Cook Island archipelago. To provide more detail, the country is an inset map in the lower left corner, with numbers in blue, up to 15. The main map on Side 1 is a series of inset maps providing excellent detail of individual islands, such as Raratonga, Mangaia, or Aitutaki, or island groupings of more northerly groupings that are little more than atolls, such as Penrhyn or Palmerston. The capital is Avarua, and an inset map is included; also one of Arutanga on Aitutaki. The country is well-positioned for tourism, and has many resorts, particularly on Raratonga.
Side 2 is a new map for ITMB, part of our growing Cruising line. This on covers the eastern portion of the South Pacific, from the Marshall Islands, Nauru, and the Solomons on the west to Hawaii and Tahiti on the east, and as far south as New Zealand. Other island nations included on this map are Kiribati, Tuvalu, Fiji, Samoa, and New Caledonia. By the nature of portraying a vast ocean, little detail of each island can be provided. The purpose of this map is to show routes followed by ships visiting the overall region. This is a rapidly-growing travel area for major cruise lines, and promises to be as attractive in the future as cruises in the Caribbean or Mediterranean. This region holds great prospects for the future. Besides, it is a lovely map to look at.
USA: Honolulu & Oahu
Ordinær pris 199,00 krHonolulu/Waikiki is a brand new map for ITMB, and our first new title for a part of the USA this year. Almost everyone flying to Hawaii goes to Honolulu, and the vast majority stay in hotels located close to Waikiki Beach. This is quite a comprehensive city plan map for the Honolulu urban area, stretching from east of Diamond Head to the international airport. It also includes a large inset of the Pearl Harbour area, with its many memorials to the ships sunk during the surprise Japanese attack on December 6, 1941. Ford Island is still a major US military base. Our Top Attractions list shows the highlights of touristic interest.
The second side is a newly-updated version of our map of the island of Oahu. Although the focus of this map is on Honolulu, most visitors include day trips to outlying areas of the island. There are numerous coves where one can enjoy a reasonably isolated experience, and attractions such as the Dole Pineapple Farm to enjoy. It is not possible to drive all the way along the coast. Waimea Bay offers the best "big wave" surfing. A very popular activity is to climb to the rim of Diamond Head volcano.
South Pacific: Oceania Cruising & New Caledonia
Ordinær pris 179,00 krThe South Pacific island complex known as New Caledonia, or Nouvelle Caledonie in French, consists of a main island and half a dozen smaller islands (collectively called the Loyalty Islands. It is an overseas possession of France and uses the Euro as its currency. It is located about halfway between Australia and Fiji and is south of Vanuatu. The main island is one of the larger land masses in the Pacific, with a reasonably well-developed road infrastructure linking the capital city of Naomea with other urban areas. There are resort hotels at various locations along the coastline, but this is a territory that one would have to regard as being adventuresome. Most of the attractions are concentrated in the vicinity of the capital. The islands were important surveillance zones during WW2, and the territory is popular with Australians and New Zealanders.
The reverse side of the sheet portrays the South Pacific for cruising, covering from Hawaii to the Marianas, down to New Guinea, and includes the eastern half of Australia, all of New Zealand, American Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga in the centre, with Tuvalu, Kiribati, and the Marshall Islands to the north and the Cook Islands and Tahiti to the east. This is an increasingly popular part of the world for cruise ship activity, as it combines affluent population areas in Australasia and the USA with exotic, but safe, travel destinations that are expensive to reach by any means except cruise ships. This is a brand new title for ITMB and expands our coverage of both the southern portions of the Pacific with yet another first-time map.

Brazil: Amazon & Brazil North
Ordinær pris 199,00 krWe first mapped the Amazon River Basin for a rainforest protection conference many years ago, preparing what we thought was a pretty good rendition until we arrived at a conference full of experts who were able to add so much more data that we re-did the map before publishing it. We have updated it repeatedly as more information has come to light and are pleased to release this sixth version, which does something that we have wanted to do for some time - it adds a detailed map of the northern half of Brazil/Brasil to a river map that covers portions of seven different countries.
The map is printed on revolutionary stone paper (tear-resistant, waterproof, friendly to the environment, and bio-degradable as well as extremely durable), and has two different cover pictures, so it can be marketed either as a map of Brasil or of the Amazon Basin - or both! It is also the only map of the river basin in print. As the world emerges from the era of Covid, this part of the world will once again dominate demand for South American explorers.
Spain: South Rail & Road
Ordinær pris 179,00 krThe southern half of Spain (and of Portugal, which is also included) consists of the portion from Toledo/Castellon south to the Mediterranean. Side 1 (the cover side) focuses on the eastern portion, from Granada to the coast, including the Balearic islands of Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza, and the other side the portion of Spain west of Granada, including that portion of Portugal from north of Lisbon to the Algarve. Gibraltar is included, as are the Straits and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta and part of Tangier. A large inset of the seven Canary Islands is also shown. This map completes our regional mapping of Spain (the other two titles are Spain North and Cataluña/Barcelona).
Spain has invested heavily in its train network, so we note both rapid train and regular train routes, as well as the expanding motorway network. Major touristic sites are noted, as always, with special attention to world heritage sites. The scale is excellent for those wanting to explore this portion of Spain at leisure.
Solomon Islands & South Pacific Ocean

Fra ITM: The Solomon Islands are among the more popular touristic destinations of the South Pacific. Side 1 shows Guadalcanal and an inset of the capital, Honiara, and other islands made famous by fighting in WW2 - Choiseul, New Georgia, and Santa Isabel. The Santa Cruz Islands are shown as an inset. The country has been independent since 1978. Side 2 is a new venture for ITMB - a map of the entire South Pacific, showing cruise routes in the region covered, from Hawaii in the north to New Zealand in the south and from Indonesian New Guinea to the isolated Pitcairn Islands in the east. Inset maps of Honolulu, Sydney, and Brisbane are included, but a nice touch is to show underwater mounts and the way they join together the various island nations.
USA: Pacific Coast
Ordinær pris 199,00 krOur west coast map, covering from Vancouver down to Tijuana has proven to be one of the most popular maps published by ITMB. This edition closely resembles previous ones, in that it focuses on the road network from north to south, covering all of Washington State, Oregon, and California on one double-sided sheet, showing all passenger-service railway lines as well. By the shape of the area covered, the western portion of Nevada is also shown as well. Space limitations did not enable us to include insets, so travellers should be advised to obtain ITMB city maps of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego to supplement this map with more detailed coverage. This map also includes Yosemite National Park, for which ITMB also provides a separate detailed map. Hundreds of wilderness campgrounds are also included.
USA: Nevada & California North
Ordinær pris 169,00 krITM har kart over hele verden og de spesialiserer seg på land litt utenfor allfarvei. Beliggenheten til landets nasjonalparker, historiske monumenter, de viktigste veiene og lignende finner du inkludert i kartene. Samtlige landkart har ofte et bykart over hovedstaden.
Fra ITM: The USA is one of the most challenging countries to map due to its strong identification with state boundaries. Last month, we introduced two new maps of Idaho and Montana; this month, we wish to introduce Nevada. As a state, Nevada is mostly desert-like and is lightly populated. Its two major urban areas, Las Vegas and Reno, are extremely popular travel destinations. In addition, Nevada offers the Hoover Dam, one of the seven wonders of the modern world, a national park with 5,000-year-old pine trees, America’s second deepest lake (Tahoe), the eighth highest mountain peak in the USA, and the biggest air force bombing range in the world (Nellis). The map is double-sided, and covers northern California on the other side. This includes such treasures as Death Valley, part of the Mojave Desert, Yosemite National Park, the beautiful sequoia trees in the far northeast corner, and man-made wonders such as the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway 1 along the Big Sur coastline. Nevada is a valuable addition to ITMB’s growing line of State maps; after all, it’s about the size of France!

Ordinær pris 199,00 krBrazil
Ordinær pris 199,00 krBrazil, or more properly, Brasil, is a difficult country to map as a country, in that most of the developed areas are in the relatively small extreme south of the country. The vast region of the Amazon Basin is lightly populated and is not easy to access. Our solution has been to portray the south portion on one side at a detailed scale, to enable such locations as Rio and Sao Paulo a better scale to help travellers, while mapping the north at a respectable but more limited scale on the That said, one still needs both sides of the map, as Brasilia, the capital, falls on the north side other side of the sheet. I should also note that roads north of Brasilia tend to be less well-paved than those in the south.
The shape of the country also presents mapping difficulties, in that little room is available for inset maps. We have been able to include a good inset of central Rio, but visitors to Brasil would be well-advised to take along ITM maps of Rio and Sao Paulo for an enjoyable exploration. The map is printed on waterproof paper, both for durability and because of the humid climate, and includes a list of the top attractions.
Australia: South & Northern Territory
Ordinær pris 169,00 krSouth Australia can be thought of as having two parts; the fertile farming economy surrounding Adelaide in the south and the much more arid northern portion. The road network in the south tends to be well developed, with paved roads going more or less east-west to NSW and WA. Northerly roads tend to be gravel or dirt, such as the Birdville Track, and the north-westerly roads tend to pass through land ceded to aboriginals and require permits.
Northern Territory occupies the second side. It is state-like, if not legally a state, and occupies a huge area. The north-south highway from Darwin through Alice Springs to SA is the main transportation route of the territory, with one highway going to NSW and a partly-paved one to QLD.
United Arab Emirates & Dubai

Fra ITM: The Sultanate of Dubai is evolving into a popular tourist destination for week-long days. The city itself is fairly new, with lots of exciting architecture, including the man-made resort islands of Deira and Palm Jumeirah. The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world, and the Dubai Mall is the world's largest, with more than 80 million visitors annually. The gold souk is a fascinating traditional market. Truly, the city is making extraordinary efforts to attract visitors from around the world. Equally interesting are the surrounding countries of the United Arab Emirates and Oman, all of which are tourist-friendly. International airports are located close to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Muscat. Excellent modern roads connect the entire region and border crossings are relatively routine. This map shows an attractive and interesting part of the world, including such marvels as the Hajar Mountains and Al Ain, one of the world's oldest inhabited cities.
