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.
