Ethiopia with Eritrea, Somalia and Djibouti at 1:1,800,000 on a light, waterproof and tear-resistant, indexed road map, providing both topographic and tourist information. The map, published by Reise-Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project, is double-sided, with a generous overlap between the sides, to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

Road and rail networks are easy to see on a clear base which presents topography by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes and names of mountain ranges. Salt pans, swamps, seasonal rivers and lakes, oases, caves, hot springs and coral reefs are indicated. Road network includes seasonal local tracks, gives driving distances on main roads, and shows locations of fuel supplies and border crossings. Local airfields are also marked. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. National parks and protected areas are marked and symbols highlight various places of interest, including UNESCO world heritage sites, archaeological remains, churches and monasteries, mosques, viewpoints, beaches, etc. Campsites, particularly within Ethiopia, and locations of wells and water tanks are indicated. The map has a grid with latitude and longitude at intervals of 1º, and a separate index of localities for each country, plus a list of national parks and reverse. Map legend includes English.

ITM 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: 3rd Edition Somalia is one of the more itneresting off-the-beaten-path countries. The area around Mogadishu prefers to call itself Somalia, but controls only a portion of the overall country area. Then there is Jubaland, on the Kenyan border, aligned very closely to the former Italian colony boundaries of the same name. Truuly, an amazing juxtaposition of countries within countries! the reverse side of the sheet presents a vey interesting regional perspective of the area between the northern border of Ethiopia, a small portion of Sudan and a reasonable portion of South Sudan, all of Uganda, most of Kenya, all of Djibouti and a fair portion of Eritrea, as well as the former Aden portion of war-torn Yemen. The strategic island of Socotra is in the upper right corner. This is a fascinating regional map, never before published to my knowledge, of an extremely significant part of the world. Think of the following: Socotra guards and controls access to the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, leading to the Suez Canal. What an interesting part of the world! How can anyone not be captivated by such wonderfully exotic names as Hargeysa, Boosaaso, or Kismayyo? Somalia and the region of the Horn remain crucially important to world peace, so this map is important.
