----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Fellow Cartophiles, I have been asked to go to Egypt in early November next. Can anyone suggest how - and where - I might get hold of reasonable-scale (1:1M okay, better than 1:250,000 would be Serendipity) maps of Alexandria and hinterland fairly quickly? I'm mainly thinking of topo maps, but interesting thematic maps (socio-economic and environmental) might also be useful to know about. If anyone has any digital coverages (arc/info or IDRISI format, or something that can be translated into one of these) for Egypt and the Nile Delta, and they were willing to share these for a good (and non-profit-making) cause, that would be more than wonderful. Ah well, it does no harm to ask :-) Darius Bartlett
