----------------------------Original message---------------------------- This is the latest attempt by the Michelin mapping division to introduce quality "European style" maps for the USA. It looks very promising indeed as Michelin has produced this excellent detailed map of the region. The map covers the area of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Southern Maine, Eastern New York and Northern Pennsylvania. This map also includes that part of South Eastern Ontario bordering on this region. The map scale is 1:500,000 or 1 inch to (approx) 8 miles, the physical size of this folded map is 40" (North to South) X 43" (East to West) or 102 X 110cm. The index has more than 6,500 cities, towns and villages. Shaded relief is used in the fashion similar to the sectional Michelin maps of Spain, Italy and Great Britain. Individual county boundaries, distances between tagged locations and the familiar green line boundary along scenic routes is used with good results. Highways are clearly marked and interstates identified, exit numbers are indicated in built up areas. The legend is in English, French, Spanish and German and this map will likely replace all the individual inexpensive (or free) state maps produced by companies like Rand McNally or the individual State tourism agencies for the discriminating visitors to this region of the USA. Some of the extra features on the map are wineries, ski areas, national/state parks and monuments. The price of this high quality map is CND $ 5.00 Brad Green ========= WORLD OF MAPS ========= 118 Holland Ave. Ottawa,ON, Canada, K1Y 0X6 Thousands of maps, atlases, travel books, satellite posters Telephone (613) 724-6776 Fax (613) 724-7776 or 1-800-897-9969 http://www.worldofmaps.com/ or email: [log in to unmask]
