List, David:

Actually Mercury is mapped.  I was in Durban at the ICA (International
Cartographic Association) meeting a couple months ago and was shown a
new map of Mercury by some of the members of the ICA Commission on
Planetary Cartography.  They were quite proud of it and said it was the
first of its kind.  If folks are interested in copies, I would be happy
to see if commercial publication of the map can be accelerated.  Please
feel free to contact me at [log in to unmask]

Best,
