From ITMB: The Gulf, in this case, is the Persian Gulf, or if you prefer, the Arabian Gulf or, if you wish to, the Iranian Gulf. Regardless of which name one prefers, it is the body of water between Iran and the Arabic Emirates of Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai, and Oman/Muscat. It is also a popular cruising locale, with ships operating from Dubai to various ports of call. It also covers a considerable amount of geography, so side 1 concentrates on the water area from Kuwait/Iraq/Iran south to Bahrain and Qatar, along the coastline of the UAE to Oman and the Straits of Hormus, and along the coast of Oman to Muscat. It also includes inset maps of Manama (Bahrain), and Doha (Qatar), for the convenience of users. The second side of the map shows all of the United Arab Emirates and most of Oman, with insets of central Dubai and Muscat. Each side includes a listing of the top attractions of the side being shown. This is the third of ITMB’s growing range of cruising maps. We believe that the future of travel includes cruises as a popular means of exploring exotic travel destinations while retaining a comfortable environment. My wife and I cruised the Gulf a couple of years ago and found cruising to be an excellent way to explore several different countries that would be difficult to reach in any other manner. One day, I hope that cruises in this part of the world will extend to ports of call in Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran.

This is a new map for us, combining both the Canadian and the American portions of the Pacific coastline north from the Seattle area to the Alaska Panhandle, ending at the Glacier Bay National Park, which extends considerably north of the Bay itself. Side one concentrates on the Canadian portion, from Victoria north to the Queen Charlotte/Haida Gwaii islands, showing ferry routes and the routes most favoured by cruise ships. As a coastal map, it doesnt go very far inland, but shows the Coastal mountain range to good advantage.

Side two provides a very detailed map of that portion of Alaska known as the Panhandle a series of islands north and west of Canada that is very popular with cruisers. All parks and cruise line routes are shown. Interestingly, at the top end of Glacier Bay, the Canadian border splits the Panhandle from the rest of Alaska; not intentionally, but when the border was agreed upon in the early 1900s, no one realized that the glacier on that site might one day melt. Well, melt it has, leaving a kilometre-long stretch of beach that is part of Canada! Regardless, this map completes ITMB mapping of the Pacific coastline of North America rom the Bering Sea to Panama, a cartographic task that began decades ago.

This is a new venture for ITMB, although we have published several recreational hiking maps over the years. The Appalachian mountain range was the original western boundary of the American colonies while under British rule. Everything west of there was technically the French possession of Louisiana Territory, called by American settlers ‘Indian country’. Nowadays, it is a massive recreational hinterland for east coast residents wanting to escape overcrowded cities. The National Parks Service maintains the trail and a series of overnight huts.

Most people only hike a portion of the trail, but for the dedicated hiker, the trail is a great adventure. We have divided the length of the trail into four natural regions: Maine into New York State, Connecticut south to Maryland, Maryland to Virginia, and Virginia to Georgia, to its traditional end at Springer Mountain. This is a demanding trail hike, but one of the most popular in the world.

Fra ITM: This version includes two separate covers, one for each state, to enhance marketing possibilities, and the addition of two Top Attractions listings, one for each state. The Arizona side has a detailed inset map of Flagstaff, showing the path of Route 66 through the city streets. The New Mexico side includes a large inset of Albuquerque, also including the Route 66 passageway through the city.

The American State of California has almost as many residents as all of Canada. I wonder how many of them are ex-pat Canucks? Regardless, this double-sided map shows the attractions of the state in amazing detail. Side 1 concentrates on the northern half, with a large inset map of San Francisco. A fairly large portion of Nevada shows as well, but with less detail.

Side 2 continues south to the Mexican border and east to Arizona, with a detailed inset map of central Los Angeles included. By the shape of California, all of southern Nevada is included as well, including the all-important wasteland of Las Vegas. All motorways are clearly shown, including those in greater Los Angeles. All state highways are also shown, as well as most secondary connecting roads. Parks, points of interest, beaches, redwood forests, and distances between major communities are also shown. The state is blessed with interesting offshore islands, such as Catalina, San Clemente, and the Channel Islands, all of which are included.

Fra ITMB: Arizona is an amazingly attractive State to visit, with Route 66 attractions in the north, bustling Phoenix in the centre, and a strongly-influenced Mexican influence in the south. Thus, a travel map for the state makes sense, and this one shows camping sites, local attractions (including Tombstone) and includes inset maps for Flagstaff and Grand Canyon Village. Its main attraction, however, is Grand Canyon, a deep defile carved out over millennia by the Colorado River, on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. This is one of nature's wonders, and a "must see" for everyone. This results in a very interesting and useful map, covering both one of the most interesting States in America AND one of the great natural phenomena of the world. The map is printed on waterproof and biodegradable stone paper, which is a technological marvel in its own right, in this case for durability rather than to protect against moisture.

Fra ITM: We didn't suspect, when we started developing this title, that Mauna Loa Volcano would erupt as soon as our map of the national park was printed, but it did! It is on the news every night, and a marvelous touristic attraction. How many of us can ever see a massive eruption of molten lava? Now, we can! (at least, from a safe distance). The national park occupies one side of the map and is the latest in ITMB's series of national parks. By the nature of such parks, we show all the features and elevations, but in this case, we'll add the proviso that heights and lava flows are changing the landscape on a daily basis. Volcanoes are sort of like elephants-they go where they please! The reverse side of the sheet is a map of Big Island, where the park is located. Its name comes from being the largest island in area of all the Hawaiian archipelago. The map includes an inset of Hilo, the largest city on the island, located on a calm bay of the east coast, and a separate inset of Kailua-Kona on the west coast, which is also the focal point for surfing and resorts. This pretty much completes our detailed mapping of Hawaii; in addition to this title, we have maps of the complete state and of each major island, as well as a new map of Honolulu/Waikiki. The map is printed on waterproof stone paper, which could prove very useful in tropical Hawaii!

Honolulu/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.

Fra ITM: We are pleased to re-introduce our popular regional map of the northern mountain states. The USA divides naturally into regions, and the three states of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming form such a unit. This is a double-sided map, with Idaho and western Montana filling one side and the rest of Montana and Wyoming completing the second side. The three states are lightly populated and have no major urban areas, but interesting towns to visit and lots of wilderness areas worth exploring. Yellowstone National Park is a great attraction, as is Grand Teto to its south. Historically, the battlefield of the Little Big Horn can be explored east of Billings, MT. This is a great map for exploring!

Fra ITM: Montana prides itself on being the ‘blue sky’ state. Due to its high elevation, the sky does appear to be a darker shade of blue than is common in areas closer to the ocean. The state is lightly populated, so much of its attractiveness rests with natural features, such as Glacier National Park on the Canadian border, and Yellowstone National Park on the Wyoming border. The state is also perfect camping country, and our map includes dozens of authorized campsites. It also includes the national heritage site of Little Big Horn, where Lt. Colonel Custer and the US 7th Cavalry were massacred after foolishly attacking a vastly larger encampment of Sioux and Cheyenne first nations people under the leadership of Sitting Bull.

The second side of the map portrays the State of Idaho, an equally large geographic area lightly populated. The terrain is quite mountainous, but is ideal for growing potatoes. The northern portion of the state is a narrow neck used mostly to get between Washington State and Montana, but the southern half encompasses the Snake River Valley. As with Montana, outdoor recreation is the main attraction, with dozens of parks and campsites. Coeur d’Alene, the main town in the north, is actually a corruption of Coeur de Lion, named after a French Canadian fur trapper who lived in the area many years ago. The map also has two different covers, one for each state, so can be displayed in two different areas of a store. Legend Includes: Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, and much more...

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!
