Brazil at 1:4,000,000 on a large indexed road map from Insight Guides, with street plans of central Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, plus an enlargement showing the environs of Rio including access to its international airport. The southernmost tip of the country is shown as an inset.

The base map uses hill-shading to portray the relief; heights of significant peaks are indicated and many rivers, lakes and highland ranges are named. Salt pan and marsh areas are also shown. Communication detail includes railways, ferry routes and airports, and intermediate driving distances are indicated on main roads. No distinction is made between surfaced and unsurfaced main roads, although some minor routes are classed as tracks. Where main roads meet the edge of the map the distance to next major location is stated. National parks, reservations and international boundaries are marked and coloured symbols highlight selected sites of interest. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 2° intervals. The index, in a booklet attached to the cover, includes a separate list of places of interest. Current edition of this map was published in 2003.
