Poland Road Atlas (200K)

£38.95

Impressive, detailed, 386-page touring atlas of Poland in A4 spiral-bound format, with street plans of 61 towns, enlargements for environs of main urban conurbations and overview mapping of the whole of Europe for road access to the country. The main section at 1:200,000 presents the road network in considerable detail, with minor roads easy to read, indicating rest areas for cars and/or TIR vehicles, filling stations on motorways, steep gradients, particularly hazardous stretches of road and junctions, car ferries across rivers, scenic routes, etc. Railways show local stations and include narrow gauge lines and funiculars. Symbols indicate selected hotels, campsites, youth hostels, mountain huts, places of worship, medical facilities, etc. Topography is shown by subtle relief shading with spot heights, indicating forested areas and highlighting national parks and other protected areas. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 10’ intervals. Coverage extends westward to include road connection to Berlin.

The main section is followed by enlargements at 1:100,000 of the environs of Warsaw, Kraków (Cracow), the Katowice Industrial District, and the Tri-City area (Gdansk/Sopot/Gdynia). 61 city plans at 1:25,000 of all the country’s main towns indicate paid-parking zones. Map legends for all the sections include English. The atlas has a very extensive 60-page index of localities.

The next part of the atlas has mapping of the whole of Europe at 1:4,500,000, although the motorway network is perhaps not quite clearly differentiated from other roads to make this section ideal for route planning for long-distance journeys across the continent. The final section of the atlas has road signs, advice on first aid, lists and a map of border crossings, and a distance table. All the text in this section is in Polish only, but much of the information is self-explanatory. Also included is a CD version of the atlas.
