Michael,
I have two maps in my collection. One is from Nepa Maps, Kathmandu,
Nepal, by Paolo Gondoni. It is Tibet, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan. The place
names in Tibet are in Pinyin. Another, a very nice map of Tibet from
Gizi Maps, Budapest, Hungary, has place names in Pinyin and Chinese
characters, and in Tibetan in both roman and Tibetan script.
The Nepa maps edition I have is from 2001, there may be a more recent
edition. The Gizi Maps sheet is very recent. I think both might be
available from Omni Maps, and other vendors.

Hi,
I'm hunting for something that may not exist: a medium- to large-scale
map of Tibet with place names in Chinese Pinyin (Romanized Chinese). I'm
hoping to get something official. I'm told that Sinomaps Press (aka
Zhongguo di tu chu ban she ["China Map Publishing House"] ) is
considered authoritative, but they have not responded to email
inquiries, and I've yet to find anything on WorldCat to suggest that
they produce such a thing.
Anybody have or seen such a thing?
Thanks very much.
