Fra ITM: Travel to Mexico is exploding at the moment, as Covid restrictions lift. That portion of Mexico that forms the relatively narrow land mass between Mexico City and the Yucatan Peninsula is called the Isthmus of Mexico. It consists of three states, Oaxaca, in the west, Chiapas in the east, and Guerrero in the west. This is a double-sided map, stretching from west of Acapulco to beyond the border with Guatemala along the Pacific coast, and from Veracruz to Carmen along the Gulf of Mexico coast. It is the part of Mexico containing numerous holiday resort areas for sun-lovers, but is also rich in history and attractive colonial-era towns.

Oaxaca City is a UNESCO World Heritage site, as is the Mayan temple site of Palenque. There are numerous archeological sites in the region to explore, such as Monte Alban, which dates from the 8th Century BC. The colourful mining town of Taxco, with its narrow cobblestone streets, is a must-see, as is San Cristobal de Las Casas, in Chiapas State. This is an extremely popular part of Mexico to visit, so we are very pleased to be able to bring it back into print.

Fra ITM: The northern Pacific coastline of Mexico borders on California and Arizona and is a popular travel destination. Sonora is the more northerly state of Mexico, bordering on Baja California on its west (much of which is included on this map) Nogales is probably the best-known city, although Hermosillo is the capital. Sinaloa is more southerly, and is probably best known for Mazatlán, the popular ocean resort community and cruise ship port of call. Sinaloa is also the starting point for the famous train excursion known as the Copper Canyon, originating in Los Mochis. The rail route is shown on the map. The canyon is actually in Chihuahua State, which is included on this map, and goes through a portion of Mexico that is pretty much devoid of roads. The trip ends in Cuauhtémoc, but users are advised to stay on the train to the capital city, also called Chihuahua. We have included the top ten attractions of the region, including the Pinacate Volcanic Field, the Nacapule Canyon, and Las Labradas World Heritage site. This is a part of Mexico easy to reach from the USA, and has many attractive cities

Fra ITM: Auckland is one of the most attractive cities to visit, and Auckland is the normal point of entry to the island nation. The City of Auckland is the largest in the country and offers a wide range of attractions. That said, one of the best is to enjoy the harbour front on a sunny day and enjoy seeing ferries bustling in and out, taking passengers to such exotic local destinations as Half Moon Bay, Great Barrier Island, or Devonport. Better still, take one of the ferries yourself! The city centre is quite compact and easily walkable, and the suburban rail line can easily take one to nearby destinations. The true value of the map is its other side, covering the north island in excellent detail. From the far north at Cape Reinga to Wellington in the far south, the northernmost major island that makes up New Zealand is a treat to discover. Good quality roads enable one to explore the island at will and enjoy such attractions as Mount Maunganuiis, Tongariro Alpine Crossing, or the Coromandel Peninsula. A newish attraction that is well-worth a visit is the Hobbiton Movie set, where the Lord of the Rings trilogy was shot. A good inset map of Wellington is also included.

Fra ITM: New Zealand is a very popular travel destination. ITMB publishes a map of the entire country and two detailed maps at a better scale of the North and the South Islands. South Island is somewhat larger than the more populous North, and includes several offshore small island entities, such as the Chatham Islands and the South Auckland Islands off the coast of Antarctica. The main city is Christchurch, for which a detailed street plan has been included on the map. The ferry route to Wellington (on North Island) is also shown.

Fra ITM: Central America generally remians poplar with visitors. Both Honduras and Nicaragua, which occupy different sides of this sheet, have a lot of attractions to offer. Honduras offers beaches, the wonderful Mayan complex of Copan, lake Yojoa, the colonial heritage of Belen Gualcho, the Valley of Angels, and a city of charm named Gracias A large inset map of Tegucigalpa, the capital, is included. Nicaragua has one of the oldes urban areas in the Western Hemisphere, Granada (1534), the mountains of Matagalpa, quiet fishing villages, pottery works at San Juan, the largest lake in Central America, and touristic islands off the coast. An excellent inset map of Managua, the capital, is included.

Norway is one of the more interesting countries in Europe for travellers, in that it has wide open spaces and unusual Arctic scenery, particularly in the north. Because it is a rather long and narrow country, trying to portray it adequately on a single sheet results in a lack of scale adequate for showing touristic attractions. This map covers the northern portion of the country, from Trondheim to Nordkapp and from the North Atlantic to the Russian border. It also shows a portion of northern Sweden and a bit of Finland and Russia, but its focus is on roads, rail connections, airports, distance markers, parks, and touristic attractions in the region. Most noticeably, the rail lines leading to Trondheim and north to Bodo are clearly shown. Communities, sometimes fairly small, are included, as are ferries to outlying islands close to the coast.

The reverse side shows the rail line to Narvik coming in from Sweden, and all roads and towns north to the Arctic Ocean and east to the Russian border. Border crossing to Sweden/Finland are not shown, as both countries are part of the EU, but crossings to Russia are shown, albeit closed at the moment.

This map represents a major step forward on coverage of southern Norway. The map is now on tear-resistant stone paper and places Oslo and Bergen on one side, allowing us to include a large-scale map of all of southern Norway as far north as Trondheim on the other side. This covers the portion of Norway most visited and includes all the best-known fiords. The back cover also shows a schematic rendition of the 6 metro lines in Oslo, plus the tram network and the commuter rail from the airport into the city.

Fra ITM: The Central American country of Panama is actually and east-west country, not a north-south one as one might expect. Its historic claim to fame is two-fold. It was here that Spanish conquistadors first set eyes on the vast Pacific Ocean, and it is here that much of the world's commercial goods pass from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The Canal is extremely important, and a "must see" attraction, but the country offers much more. Santa Catalina is a world-class surfing destination. The Pearl Islands feature virgin forest and pristine beaches. Boquette, in the northern mountains, is the valley of the flowers. Panama City is a vibrant economic centre for shopping. In recent years, Panama has invested heavily in tourism. The roads are excellent, the people are friendly, the restaurants are excellent, and the country is peaceful. Who could ask for more?

Fra ITM: One of the world's great travel adventures is sailing through the Panama Canal, which we did last year (see cover photo). Panama itself is a large enough country that the canal, which is visited annually by millions of passengers, cannot be shown in meaningful detail. So, whether one is on board one of the many cruise ships squeezing into the Miraflores Locks or are a visitor ashore watching, the canal is a great attraction. The map is double-sided, with central Panama (the part most visited) filling side one. Side two is divided in half along the central fold. A very detailed map of Panama City fills the left side, and the first-ever map of the canal itself fills the other. This is a marvelously portrayed rendition of the most important canal in the world. Even at this scale, the locks themselves are thin lines on the sheet, but they're there.

Fra ITM: Expanding the area of coverage benefits visitors combining Paraguay and Bolivia into one trip. The first side covers Bolivia from La Paz south to the Paraguayan border, with inset maps of Potosi and Santa Cruz. The second side concentrates on Paraguay itself, with inset maps of Asuncion, the Asuncion region, and northern Paraguay. Small bits of bordering countries also are included. Road connections within Paraguay have been shown to good advantage. Both countries, being land-locked, are somewhat isolated, making travel to them something more adventuresome than visits to neighbouring countries. However, both are hospitable, safe, and tourist-friendly.

Fra ITM: We are very pleased to be able to release a double-sided detailed map of Portugal. Although we have included the country in previous maps, it was always as an adjunct to another map (Spain and Portugal, Portugal and Southern Spain etc.), so it is high time that this very nice popular country had its own ITM map. Being a long, rather thin country, Side 1 concentrates on Lisbon and the southern half of Portugal with a detailed inset map of Lisbon. It also includes the Spanish provinces of Huelva and Badajoz. Side 2 covers the northern half of the country along with portions of neighbouring Spanish provinces. As a country, Portugal has a wealth of touristic attractions and we have included as many as we can on this map without cluttering it – castles, palaces, fortresses, cathedrals and churches, dozens of museums, beaches, a few hotels, mines, monuments, and just about everything a visitor would want to have. Of course, motorways, highways, secondary routes, rail lines, ferry services, and geographic heights of land are also included; altogether, a fabulous map for a wonderful country.

The city of Lisbon is one of the most attractive in Europe. It is an ancient city, but most of its architecture dates from the Victorian era. It has a fascinating number of tram lines, and the trams tend to be an experience worth the trip. One graces our cover. There is no cheaper way to explore this city than to climb aboard and let the rails decide your destination!

Coverage extends from the northern and western motorways to the southerly Rio Tejo and the national museum, so shows the city quite comprehensively. Almost half of the map area is of the massive Monsanto Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world. The reverse side is equally important, in that it presents our first-ever map dedicated to showing the charms of the entire country of Portugal. A bit of western Spain is included due to the unevenness of the border, but the map goes from the northernmost tipoff Castelo to the southernmost expanse of the Costa Do Algarve, showing touristic attractions, historic sites, beaches, museums, rail connections, and major parks.

The map is printed on waterproof stone paper, a recent technological innovation that is gradually replacing plastic.

Fra ITM: The American territories of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are anomalies in the modern world, neither fish nor fowl, as the saying goes. Although the residents are American citizens, they have no representation in Congress and are not allowed to vote in national elections. The lesser-known British Virgin Islands are included on this double-sided map. The BVI is still a British colony, consisting of about 20 islands, capitaled in Road Town (inset included). Puerto Rico (1:190.000) is a large, rectangular island, capitaled by San Juan (inset included) and is a major cruise ship point of origin as well as being home to resort communities all over the main island. Ferries connect to outlying islands. The VI portion was purchased from Denmark in 1917 and retains a colonial European charm. There are three main islands – St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John – and the map includes inset maps of Charlotte Amalie, Cruz Bay, Christiansted, and Frederiksted. Each side of the map sheet includes a listing of top attractions. Ferry routes to the BVI are shown, as well as water connections between the islands. Virgin islands 1:85.000.Legend Includes:Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, and much more...

The Rhine River flows from the Gletch Glacier in the Swiss Alps north to central Germany and then on to Amsterdam and the North Sea. It has been a major transportation link in Europe for many centuries, with dozens of castles located at strategic points. Today, it is a peaceful touristic haven as well as a busy working river, with dozens of shallow-draft boats wending their way around countless turns in the river. It is probably the busiest tourist highway in Europe. This double-sided map starts in Amsterdam, where it is known as the Waal, and follows the course of the river inland past Nijmegen to the German border, where the name changes to Rhine. There are many notable interesting cities along its route, such as Essen in the Ruhr Valley, Dusseldorf, Koln, with its magnificent cathedral, Bonn, Castle Arenfels, Koblenz, and Rüdesheim, where it joins the Main River and heads east to Frankfurt-on-Main and points east. As a map is a rectangular sheet of paper and a river is a narrow portion wending its way as geography takes it. This is much more than a simple river map. It is a detailed portrayal of a very interesting part of Europe, extending far beyond the banks of the river, and is ideal for those travelling by car, by train, or by river boat. A detailed city centre map of Frankfurt is included.

Fra ITM: This is the most recently released title of our Russia series. In this revised edition, we have expanded the area of coverage to include the portion of Russia known as the Far East Republic and the eastern portions of Siberia (in January, we released Siberia itself). Lets start with the Kamchatka peninsula itself. This is a very interesting adventure travel destination, famous for its geothermal geysers and its isolation from the rest of Russia. There is only city of any size, Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky (which I genuinely hope is colloquially known as PK), the capital and location of the peninsulas only significant airport. We have included an inset map of the city. We also include a map of the famous Valley of Geysers (South of Klyuchi). Interestingly, the peninsula has a town called Esso. The other side of the sheet portrays a vast region from the Russian occupied island of Sakhalin and the Okhotsk Sea north to that portion of what we call the Arctic Ocean but is really a series of seas (this one being the East Siberian Sea) and west to the Lena River. The Trans Siberian railway west towards Moscow is shown, as well as connections into Mongolia and China. This is not a well known region of Russia and is definitely for the adventurer (I would to hear from anyone who has stayed at the hotel in Novaya Chara, which is as close to being the middle of nowhere I can imagine. actually, this portion of Russia is loaded with hotels and camping grounds. The map also shows a fascinating road going from close to the border with China all the way to a bay on the ocean. That would be quite a trip to take!

Fra ITM: Saint Lucia in 1:45.000 and Martinique in 1:65.000. We have included an inset map of Castries, the capital, noting, among other things, the cruise ship terminals (there are two) and the inter-island ferry terminal. That is important because St. Lucia is now linked to neighbouring Martinique by a scheduled ferry service and it is very convenient for visitors wishing to enhance their visit by adding a day trip to Martinique. For this reason, we have added a full-page map of Martinique to the reverse side of the sheet. The ferry goes to Fort-de-France, the capital, and the map includes an inset of the city, showing where the ferry docks. Martinique, with its French heritage, is more exotic than most English-speaking Caribbean countries, but is friendly and somehow different.

It is considered an extension of France and thus of the European Union, so uses the Euro. Although the common language is French (or a variety of it), English is well-understood. Cars are readily available for hire and road conditions are good. The island even boasts a motorway, going to the island’s south coast. Both islands are important Caribbean travel destinations, with resort hotels concentrated on Marigot Bay and Rodney Bay in St. Lucia and in the Pont du Bout peninsula of Martinique. The map has a double-sided cover for ease of marketing.

Fra ITM: The West African country of Sierra Leone is one of the hidden gems of Africa. A relatively stable and peaceful country, it moved into independence easily. English remains the common language of communication, which is nice. The only urban area of any size in the country is the Capital, Freetown. The name dates from the time of the American Revolution, where slaves who fought for the British army were given sanctuary far from the rebellious whites determined to re-enslave them. Rather than having a Top Attractions list, we have devoted a considerable amount of space on the country side to note its history and points of interest. Side 2 is a detailed map of Freetown, with an inset map of the nearby Peninsula Mountains. Freetown boasts the largest natural harbour in the world and has a 500-year-old Cotton tree in its town centre. This is definitely a country worth visiting!

As tourism to the eastern reaches of Europe becomes more popular, Slovakia is well-positioned to present an attractive opportunity for exploration. ITMB previously included this country with adjacent Hungary, but now we have expanded coverage and included a detailed map of Bratislava (1:8.000). Side 1 (1:430.000) shows the elongated country from its Austrian and Czech borders to its increasingly important border with Ukraine. As usual, we have included a listing of Top Attractions, such as the little-known towns of Kosice, Banska Stiavnica, and Sturovo, as well as the karst underground caves of Demanova and the fairy tale castle of Bojnice.

Side 2 portrays the capital city of Bratislava in excellent detail, showing the Danube River and the old town in great detail, along with the newer outlying areas of Petrzalka and Ruzinov.

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.

This 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.

In conjunction with several cruise ship lines, ITM have prepared a map of the South Pacific Ocean, Which extends southwards from Hawai’i to the southern tip of New Zealand and eastwards from central Australia/Papua New Guinea to the Pitcairn Islands. Thus, it does not include the popular South East Asia and China coast routes. We think this has to change at a time when 25,000,000 people are travelling by cruise ships. At the same time, we must keep coverage area relevant for those end users of the artwork. Even at 1:12M, most of the area covered is water, with island countries such as Fiji, Tonga, Kiribati, Tahiti, and the Cook Islands being visible, but without detail.

For those readers more familiar with Caribbean or Mediterranean cruising, the reason for our focus on the South Pacific is due to the fact that this region of the world is the fastest-growing portion of cruise travel growth. The map of the South Pacific region fills one side of the map. The reverse side of the artwork covers the two entities known collectively as Samoa, which has been included for two reasons. First, it is in the centre of the South Pacific and several cruise companies stop at Pago Pago. Second, the two Samoas form a unit that is not contiguous with any other part of the vast Pacific region. Independent Western Samoa consists of two main islands and two small islands, which have been portrayed at 1:160,000 scale. An inset map of the capital, Apia is included.

The 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.

The 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.

The 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.
