Eastern Moravia - Western Slovakia in MairDumont's Marco Polo regional series of the Czech Repoublic at 1:200,000, with special new features to aid route planning whilst retaining the publisher’s excellent cartography. The index is now in a separate booklet, which also includes street plans of main cities.

The new presentation of this series, introduced in March 2009, includes a fold-out extension of the jacket so that the whole area covered by the map, plus the surrounding regions, can be shown with the map’s coordinate system, making it much easier to find various localities on the main map and/or plan a route. Also new is a set of seven peel-on/peel-off stickers, removable without damaging the map, for making routes or locations more prominent when navigating.

The maps retain the publisher’s traditional cartography of this series, boldly stressing main roads and motorways in strong colours and selected towns in large letters, but also showing minor roads and villages in considerable detail. Road information includes toll roads, traffic restrictions and seasonal closures, gradient marking for steep roads, scenic routes, etc. Motorway services clearly indicate types of facilities available there. Railway network includes narrow gauge and tourist lines, cable car lines, and chair lifts.

The series is particularly good for identifying geographical features: mountain and hill chains, national parks, etc. Picturesque towns and places of interest are given star rating, and other tourist information includes campsites and youth hostels, landmarks, recreational facilities etc. Latitude and longitude grid is drawn at intervals of 10'. Map legend includes English.

Each title comes with a booklet which contains street plans of main cities, plus an extensive index of place names showing full postal code for each locality. Also included is a table with distances and traveling times.

In this title: street plans of central Brno, Olomouc, Opava and Ostrava.
