Cyprus is a lovely Mediterranean island; a popular tourist destination for Europeans. It is also a very historic island, with roots going back to Phoenician times and probably before. Politically, the island is divided into Turkish-controlled Northern Cyprus and EU-member Cyprus, the southern two-thirds of the island. Most travel is to the southern portion, with numerous resort hotels and beaches lining the coast. This is also the most economically-developed part of the island, as the northern portion has not been recognized by anyone except Turkey, which still maintains a significant military presence in areas they control. It is possible for tourists to pass through the ‘green zone’ in Nicosia from south to north and back safely and efficiently. T

he north portion is, in my opinion, more interesting simply because it is less travelled. When we were visiting the island to research it, we spent most of our time driving mountainous roads, discovering interesting villages (and occasionally, military outposts), but we never felt fearful or were harassed by anyone. To me, the most fascinating part of the island was the very contentious Famagusta city area right on the border that is now an abandoned city covering many blocks of high-rises. We were able to drive through quite a bit of it before being waved off by Turkish soldiers. Regardless of politics, the island is a dream resort for anyone.

We have tried to be fair to both sides of this divided island; a wonderful place to explore or enjoy on a beach – North or South! 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 island is a popular holiday vacation destination and cruise ship stopover port. We have in reality placed two maps on the sheet, by adding St. Lucia, another popular Caribbean destination, to the reverse side. Each country is placed on one side of the paper, with insets of their respective capitals, Roseau and Castries. Dominica, with its rugged volcanic terrain, its dominating mountains, and its lush pristine rainforests, has a natural beauty that is a prime reason to visit and enjoy the island’s attractions.
In addition, both islands are linked to each other and to Martinique and Guadeloupe by new inter-island ferries. This new system of ferries is joining the islands together for sharing tourism, as well as economic cohesion within the Caribbean. It is now possible to base oneself on Dominica and enjoy day trips to Martinique, for example, or St. Lucia.

Fra ITM: We spent a week on the lovely island of Hispaniola, home to the Dominican Republic and Haiti, last December. We spent several days driving the highways, checking our information and this new edition is the result. Frankly, we were surprised how accurate the digital artwork was (and is); this is the first time that we have been able to ground-truth a map shortly before printing, and after updating. We did discover one new toll highway, and we learned that Santa Domingo floods rather easily during heavy rains. We now show a lot of what I would consider to be local farm roads; they exist, but it is doubtful any tourist would use them. We also discovered a new motorway-like highway that is under construction between Santiago and Puerto Plata, but we are leaving it off the map for now as work has just begun and we saw little indication that it would be completed. We can add it if we see progress. The Haiti side of the sheet remains a work in progress. There are now five border crossings with Dom Rep and a lot of cross-border traffic, but the road network in Haiti remains quite basic. We have added hundreds of small local roads to our artwork; most are simple dirt tracks. We have also added a series of top attractions for Haiti, highlighted in red, and a separate series for Dom Rep. Although this could be considered a significant update.

We are pleased to present our most recent edition of Dublin, combined with a map of Ireland on the reverse side. The cover notes the Republic of Ireland, which is the focus of attention, but most of Northern Ireland (Belfast area excluded) shows as well. Regardless, one side of the sheet is a detailed map of Dublin, the capital of the Republic and a very popular travel destination.

The coverage goes far beyond the norm, extending from the River Tolka in the north to south of the Grand Canal, and from Phoenix Park in the west as far east as the Dublin Bay. The River Liffey, of course, flows across the centre of the page. Dublin has two rapid-transit tram lines, both of which are prominently shown, as is the city centre, all parks, as many hotels as we could find, shopping areas and restaurants, theatres and educational institutions, embassies, the ferry terminal, and much more.

The Top Attractions are also noted. The other side of the sheet presents a very detailed travel map of the Republic, showing all motorways, highways, and secondary routes, as well as rail lines. Touristic attractions, such as Blarney Castle and the Rock of Cashel are highlighted. This would be an excellent map for those touring the Republic by road.

Cairo 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.

Fra ITM: 6th edition November 2018. This is a double-sided map with the El Salvador (1:270.000) on one side, along with a detailed inset map of San Salvador. The maps also shows the country's World Heritage city of Chalchuapa, dating back 3,200 years. The other side of the sheet is a completely separate maps of neighbouring Guatemala, being a detailed map of the central southern portion (1:457.000)of this important country. The highlights shown on this map are Quetzaltenango, Antigue Guatemala, and the Mayan ruins of Quirigua, dating from 200ad. The border crossings with El Salvador are clearly shown and are easily crossed.

Fra ITM: Double-sided map with Ethiopia at 1:1,900,000 accompanied by a street plan of Addis Ababa, with on the reverse Eritrea at 1:915,000 with a plan of Asmara. Both road maps are indexed and show the topography by altitude colouring: in Ethiopia with bands in metres and peak heights given in both metres and feet, and in Eritrea with bands in feet and peak heights either in feet and metres or in feet only.

Europe may be small in comparison to Canada, but it is densely populated and difficult to map as a continent while providing detail. Eastern Europe used to be defined as everything behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, but now it encompasses everything east of Germany and Switzerland, which means that this map covers Italy, Greece and the Balkan countries, the Central European countries of Romania and Hungary and most of Ukraine, Poland and the three Baltic states, and western Russia as far east as Volgograd, as well as much of Turkey. It is a combined road and rail map, showing motorways and major highways, fast-train routes in red and regular services in black. It also shows major cruise line routes, although many have been suspended due to Covid and political situations in Russia and Turkey.

Essentially, this is a map covering a very large area, as are our maps of Western and Central Europe, and our earlier map of Scandinavia. We have tried to make it politically correct, which is difficult considering the Russian occupation of Crimea and the Donetsk region of Ukraine and the on-going controversy over the ‘proper’ name for Macedonia, so we apologize for any errors. For simplicity’s sake, we have named most place names in English, so Roma is Rome and Moscva is Moscow etc. Fortunately, most English place names are the same in the local languages. However, being ITMB, Naples is Napoli, and Florence is Firenze, so don’t be too critical of us; we’re trying to reconcile differing perspectives.

The climbing season for Everest begins in May, just about the time that vaccinations against Covid should kick into high gear. Time to start planning that little jaunt you’ve always wanted to do! Seriously, this is a lovely double-sided map with two attractive covers, so can be displayed either as Everest or Himalaya. The Everest side covers the mountain itself, with base camps and accommodations clearly shown. There are actually several interesting trails one could explore and all are shown; only one leads to the summit. The reverse side shows the entire Himalaya ‘knot’ that forms the basis for so many mountain chains.

The area of coverage includes all of Nepal and Sikkim, a significant portion of Bhutan, most of Tibet, and a bit of northern India. All roads and attractions are shown. The map includes a detailed inset map for Kathmandu and another for the valley region surrounding the city. There are now half a dozen access roads into Nepal, and all are shown. East-west travel is finally available with the completion of Hwy 1401. Legend Includes: Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, and much more...

Fra ITM: NATO’s newest member shares a very long border with Russia, but the border is closed at the moment. The country faces west and welcomes visitors. It is also a very large country, so the map is divided into a north/south configuration. Side 1 shows the southern portion fronting on to the Sea of Bothnia and the strait facing Estonia. The capital, Helsinki, and the western port city of Tartu are shown, as well as ferry routes connecting the country to port cities along the Baltic Sea. This is a country of lakes, which are clearly shown, as are the rail routes joining communities and the highly-developed road network. Side 2 concentrates on the more northerly portions, all the way to Lapland in the far north. Border crossings to Russia are shown, but they are closed due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A Top Attractions list is included.

France is a rather large country, and while it can be portrayed on a map as a country, mapping it in segments provides an opportunity to concentrate on regions at a better scale. This map, covering the coastal region of France from the Cotenin Peninsula south to the Spanish border and east as far as Paris and Montpellier in Languedoc is the first of what we hope will be a series covering the country at an improved scale. This map is double-sided, covering from Quimper and Paris at the northernmost portion of coverage, to Angouleme and Clermont at the southern extreme on one side, with the second side covering from Bordeaux and St-Etienne south to Bayonne/Pamplona and Nimes/Avignon in the south. This is a part of Europe that has been fought over for centuries, and as such is dotted with fortresses proclaiming its historic importance.

This map has been designed with the leisure traveller in mind. Although it shows all motorways and highways, rail connections by train are emphasized, as are long-distance Euro-Velo cycling routes that are being developed in many parts of Europe. At this scale, it would be impractical to record all accommodations, but we have included a new feature that is thus far peculiar to France, and that is motorway hotels at rest areas. Naturally, the map is rich with places of touristic interest.

This is a brand new title for ITMB and an attempt to portray a changing travel landscape in a mapping format. Eco-tourism is a rapidly growing activity, with enormous potential. At the same time, governments are seeking to reduce carbon pollution by encouraging train travel, so ITMB is climbing aboard the movement by publishing a map encouraging train travel while still retaining the road network and noting all the long-distance bike routes in southern France by designated number. 

This is, by its scale, a generalized map of that portion of France south of Poitiers or Lyon to the Mediterranean, so is more of a regional map showing biking opportunities than a detailed trail map. Nevertheless, it is an excellent map on waterproof paper showing cycling routes and tertiary roads that are suitable for recreational exploration. Naturally, motorways and main highways are shown as well. Legend Includes: Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Mining, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, , and much more...

Germany is Europe's most populous country and is a very popular travel destination. It is also noteworthy for being the first country in the world to generate more than 50% of its energy needs from renewable sources, something we in North America should emulate. It also has Europe's most advanced rapid rail networks, which we emphasize on our map. Side 1 concentrates on the northern half of the country, from the Danish frontier south to the Ruhr region and Magdeburg, with side 2 covering the south. Small portions of adjoining countries also show. We have updated the motorway network, showing portions under construction where necessary. The main highway network is shown in great detail, as this is the best way to explore traditional Germany.

Major points of interest are shown, but the country is replete with castles, fortresses, manor houses, gardens, and other touristic attractions. We have used the German names for cities, which sometimes varies from commonly-known English nomenclature. This only affects a few urban areas, such as Koln for Cologne, or Munchen for Munich; 99.9% of German place names are the same in English and German. The map is printed on waterproof stone paper for durability.

The historic city of Frankfurt started as a Roman city. The Romer (Roman, in English) central old town was the Roman encampment, and the current market square was the forum. We have been to Frankfurt many times, thanks to the annual book fair that is held there, and have long wanted to add the city to our range of European titles. Covid provided time to develop the artwork, and the map is now here. The reverse side is extremely important, covering central Germany in detail. This is also one of the most-travelled parts of Europe, so we have created a new map showing all the touristic destinations from the Rhine to Leipzig and from Gottingen south to Wurzburg. The map is printed on stone paper for both durability and resistance to water; a perfect umbrella in an emergency!

Fra ITM: This is a brand new map for ITMB, but it isn’t. The former edition was named Bavaria, which as a province of Germany is less well-travelled than we expected, so we have reversed gears and placed Munich front and centre, with a more detailed map of the southern portion of Bavaria on the reverse side. Munich, or München in German, is a very old city and the second largest international airport from America in Germany (after Frankfurt). Much of the Aldstadt (old town), based on the former Roman city, is now pedestrianized and is a great place to walk. The cathedral, of course, is wonderful to see. The U-Bahn suburban trains and S-trains make getting around the city easy, but I prefer the trams. The Hauptbahnhof (main railway station) is on the western edge of the city centre and is huge! The map covers from the Olympic Park in the north to the ring road in the south and has both a regional inset map of the hinterland of Munich and a map of the tram lines. The back cover has a very convenient schematic map of the U and S train lines. The other side of the sheet is a very detailed map of southern Bavaria., from the Bodensee at Linden to Passau and as far north as Regensburg.

Fra ITM: This is the third set of artwork for Great Britain that we have published and the first that is completely our own artwork (the previous versions were joint ventures). In mapping, as in life, one has to differentiate between the political entity known as the United Kingdom and the geo-political reality of Greater Britain, which includes the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and various assorted entities that are loosely attached to the UK by history. We have tried, in this edition, to combine a detailed road map with a touristic sites map. Given that Britain is both densely covered by thousands of narrow laneway passing themselves off as sub-B level roads and by having the greatest treasure trove in the world of castles, manor houses, gardens, museums, and interesting places worth visiting, and the task of portraying all this information becomes formidable. To keep the map from becoming too cluttered, we had to compromise, so if you don’t find the little laneway leading to your favourite pub in Devon, sorry. We've done our best to portray Britain as positively as possible, so if you're hankering to visit Foula Island, it's on the map!

The shape of the UK makes it difficult to map logically. The term South East, within crowded England, is generally more restrictive than is appropriate for a map. Our definition of SE is from the English Channel north to the northern tip of East Anglia and west to Portsmouth/Reading/Peterborough. This occupies side one of the sheet. Side two consists of that complex portion of England generally called ‘The Midlands’ stretching from Cambridge/Peterborough west to the Welsh border and from Luton/Gloucester north to Manchester/Grimsby. London is, of course, prominent, but only as a main roads map.

This is the most recent sectional map of the UK that ITMB has published, and was necessitated by the realization that, to see England properly, one needs a detailed enough map to show rail lines, motorways, A-type highways and B-type secondary roads, but also the tertiary level of road joining villages. The road network of England is incredibly complex and cannot be shown in proper detail without mapping at this scale or better. England also has a sophisticated rail network and this is left off most maps to avoid clutter. We have emphasized all the rail lines carrying passengers, which makes the London portion look like a spaghetti factory, but there are lines everywhere. All motorways and highways are shown, but rail lines are prominently shown, to encourage travel by train. A Top Attractions list has been included as well, but hundreds of interesting touristic sites have been included.

The United Kingdom may be geographically small, but it is so packed with touristic sites that it needs to be broken down into logical units to be manageable. This is the first of several maps we will be publishing of England at 1:250,000 scale, covering Southeast England from Dover to Southampton north to Luton on Side 1 and from Colchester to Coventry north to Sheffield and Boston; essentially all of SE England from the Channel to Derbyshire and west to the Isle of Wight.

Even at this scale, there is only room to show major attractions without creating clutter. Both road and rail routes are clearly shown, with rapid-rail routes shown in red. This latter feature is not included on most other maps, an one notes with a bit of surprise that this part of England has more such routes than is generally believed to exist. We travelled on one of these trains during our recent visit to the UK (albeit from Newcastle to Edinburgh) and they are quite an improvement! Whether by train or by road, all options are shown. Whether one wishes to visit Hever Castle in Kent or Winchester cathedral, or the university cities of Cambridge or Oxford, this is an ideal map for exploring one of the most touristic corners of Europe.
