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: The southern half of Mexico is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. It contains 90% of all resort destinations in Mexico, and includes the heartland of cultural and historic Mexico. Whether one wishes to visit Puerto Vallarta, San Miguel de Allende, or Taxco, the western half of the country offers marvelous opportunities for exploration. The eastern half, on the reverse side of the sheet, portrays the Yucatan Peninsula, with all its many Mayan cites, Cancun with its many resorts, and Belize. Northern Guatemala, with Tikal and a dozen other ancient sites, is also on the map.

The genesis for this map titles was a brief foray we made into Covid-ravaged Europe in 2021 that included an adventuresome cruise on a ship that should never have left port. Lan and I had a few days to spend before joining the ship in Genoa and spent a few days exploring the Ligurian coast of Italy. The border to France was supposed to be closed due to health concerns, but we drove through it and soon arrived in Monaco, a lovely little mini-state that has been formally independent for centuries and is best-known for its casino, the Monte Carlo. Why it continues to exist is one of those mysteries Europe loves and visitors become enamoured of. As an independent state, it is called a Principality and is internally self-governing, with its own currency, postal system, and harbour. It even has its own airport. Ruled by the Grimaldi family for centuries, its most famous citizen seems to be the late Grace Kelly, the American actress who married Prince Rainier.

Another reality of Monaco is that no one seems to have published a map of the country, which got Lan thinking. The end result is a beautiful and very detailed map of this small city stat, complete with its own Top Attractions list. To make the map more attractive to buyers, we have included a detailed map of the entire French Riviera from the Italian to the Spanish borders and inland to cover Provence/Cote D'rsquo;Azur, and Languedoc provinces of France. There must be hundreds of castles, fortresses, and palaces in this region, and many are noted on the map, but it is also the locale for famous historic cities such as Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, Nimes, Nice, and Grenoble. This is a perfect map for those biking the Riviera or travelling by train, as the Euro-Velo routes are al shown – and where else can you find a map of Monaco?

The country of Mongolia has existed for centuries, but until recent times was dominated by Russia. When we were first asked to prepare a tourism-oriented map of Mongolia by the government, we did our best using then-available sources of data. With each new edition, we have improved the amount of information and the accuracy of spelling of place names as the country has developed. For example, it is now generally accepted that the name of the country’s capital is Ulaanbaatar as one word.

Roads in Mongolia tend to vary dramatically, so most of the thin red lines should be regarded as guidelines rather than as formal man-made roads. The Gobi Desert is well-shown, as are cities little-known to outsiders.

A detailed inset map of Ulaanbaatar is included. 

Legend Includes: Highway, Other Roads, Motorway, Railway, Urban area, Border crossing, Airport, Point of interest, Monument, Museum, Mine, Ruin, Gas station, Lake, Nature Reserve, Camping Site, Sand dunes, Glacier, etc.

The very name Muscat and Oman entices one! The peninsula at the access point to the Persian/Arabian Gulf sounds very exotic - and it is! This double-sided map focuses on the city and region of Muscat on side one at a detailed scale, noting the Grand Mosque, the Mutrah Souk, and the Royal Opera House as well as showing hotels, shopping areas, and other sites of touristic interest. Muscat used to be a British protectorate, but is now part of Oman, albeit physically separated from it by a portion of the UAE.

The country fills side 2. Oman is portrayed as a north-south alignment, as it is long and not particularly wide, and nicely fills the sheet, with an inset of Salalah, close to the Yemeni border. Connections to nearby Abu Dhabi and Dubai are also shown. Oman is a haven of peaceful co-existence, and tourists are welcome, so this map is designed to encourage visitors.

Now it is time to re-introduce the world to one of the most fascinating countries on Planet Earth. Side 1 covers western Nepal around Pokhara and has a detailed inset map of the Mount Everest area in an expanded scale. Side 2 covers the portion of the country from just west of the Annapurna Glacial region eastwards through Kathmandu to the eastern border. A very detailed inset map of Kathmandu is included, as one of the Kathmandu Valley that surrounds the city. Basic road access from India is shown. It is not possible to enter from China.

The map is printed on durable stone paper and is as up to date as we could make information under very trying circumstances. We still hope to visit next year. Nepal is a treasure!

As a result of Covid-related shutdowns, we have been able to concentrate on our backlog of titles needing to be done but for which time seems to be denied. Amsterdam is such a title. The city is one of the major gateways into Europe and the touristic value is very high. The coverage goes from the Rembrandt Park in the west to the harbour in the east, and from the large Volkstuin Park in the north to below Vondels Park in the south. All the tram lines are shown, as well as rail tracks and the Metro lines, hotels, restaurants, museums, and attractions. As a bonus, we have included a list of the city’s top attractions.

The reverse side contains a detailed travel map of the Netherlands. By the shape of the country, this includes a portion of northern Belgium as far south as Brussels. Due to the rather densely populated nature of the country, our ability to show historic sites and attractions has been somewhat limited, but we are doing something on this map that I’ve never seen on any other map – showing all the windmills that are so closely related to the Dutch heritage! All the motorways and main highways are shown, of course, and we have included a list of top attractions. The map is printed on waterproof stone paper for durability and is biodegradable.

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: 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 most popular countries for visitors in Europe. We spent an interesting time researching this map in Norway, travelling all the way north to Nordkapp, a trip that took a week. We were actually on a cruise ship for much of the travel time. We also discovered a bookstore in Narvik that sells travel maps and obtained valuable research material there. Norway, as a country, is one of the prime travel destinations in the world-lots of wide open spaces, all the mod-cons, and fantastic scenery. Obviously, Nordkapp is a huge attraction, being the most northerly part of Europe one can access, but Norway has lots of other attractions. Roads in Norway tend to be of a very good quality, but are mostly two-laned and winding.

There are coastal ferries joining isolated communities from south to north, and lots of ferries for car crossings of fiords. We took a local ferry from Ålesund into the interior of Stor Fiord. It took all day to make the trip, but it was a great experience, and that's what travel is all about! Bergen is also a very interesting city to visit. Generally, Norway ranks very high as a safe and pleasant travel destination, now enhanced by being printed on durable stone paper.

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.

The Cuzco/Inca Trail/Manchu Picchu region of Peru is extremely popular. Our map shows the City of Cuzco, the Inca Trail (on a series of sectional map insets), an inset of the interesting town of Aguas Calientes (which is the jumping off place for all visits to Manchu Picchu), and a separate inset map of the fabulously interesting Incan city in he middle of nowhere. This is yet another of those must see before you die places. We went by train from Cuzco to Aguas, which was an adventure in itself, sat in the back of a lorry for the climb up to Manchu, and spent a wonderful day exploring the World Heritage site. One can do the trek along the Inca Trail as well, but that's the only alternative. No road or airport.

Side 2 covers the southern half of Peru, essentially from Lima to the Chilean border and inland as far as Lake Titicaca (another wonderful place to see). Peru existed long before the Spanish arrived, and the country id filled with amazing places to see – Arequipa is full of colonial architecture. Ticlio Station, near Morococha is the most elevated railway station in the world (4,758 meters above sea level).
