Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of Costa Rica and Panama with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The map is double-sided, one country covered on each side, to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

The area’s topography is presented by altitude colouring with contours and spot heights. Swamp areas, mangroves, seasonal rivers and lakes, and reefs are also indicated. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Road network includes un-surfaced local roads and tracks, and indicates driving distances on main and secondary roads and border crossings. Railways, harbours and local airfields are also shown.

National parks and protected zones, including turtle protections areas are clearly marked. Picturesque towns and villages are highlighted and symbols indicate numerous places of interest, including UNESCO world heritage sites, churches and archaeological sites, camping sites and selected hotels, hot springs, viewpoints, beaches and surfing or scuba diving locations, etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 30’ and an extensive index of localities with a separate list of national parks and reserves. Map legend includes English.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information.

Sample of cartography:

Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
