Philippines

£9.50

Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of the Philippines with topographic and tourist information. The map, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project, is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet. Islands north of Luzon and at the south-western corner of the country around the Tawi-Tawi Island are shown on insets.

Topography is presented by altitude colouring with contours and spot heights. Seasonal rivers and coral reefs surrounding the islands are also indicated. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces.

Road network includes unsurfaced local roads and seasonal tracks, and indicates driving distances on main and secondary roads. Railways, local airfields and ports are also shown, with ferry routes between the islands.

Symbols highlight various places of interest, including national parks and wildlife reserves, beaches, surfing and diving sites, etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1º, plus 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. Some titles in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website only under that imprint. However, if required, the original Reise Know-How editions can be ordered on request - please contact us by e-mail.

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.
